Control Panel

Control Panel\Add Remove....

No programs are visible except in Safe Mode.

What things might cause this problem?

Thanks!

Mr, Swampy,

Check this first:

Click Start => Run and type in "regedit" {without the quotes}

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load

Before making any changes, highlight this key and Backup (Export) it
for safety by going to File => Export.

Look in the right-hand pane for items that have a Value set to "No".

If there are a number of them, right-click on each one and Delete, but
leave the entry 'ncpa.cpl' as is.

Log Off/On or restart the computer.

SORRY, DISREGARD THAT POST. I misread your post thinking that nothing
was showing in Control Panel and not just in the Add or Remove
Programs.

Sorry about that.

Try this first:

First make sure that the list is indeed blank, and it's not a case of
a large blank space followed by the programs - use the scroll bar on
the side.
If it is indeed completely empty:

Try these steps:

Click Start, click Run, and then type "regsvr32 appwiz.cpl" {without
the quotes, and a space after regsvr32}

Next, open the Registry Editor by going to Start => Run and typing in
"regedit" {without the quotes}.
Locate this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Are there sub-keys with programs listed?

 

[Swampy]

Yes, Claymore.....quite a few.

Hello again, Mr. Swampy,

I've just about given up on XP's native Add or Remove Programs applet.
My own problem is the inordinate length of time it takes to populate
the list.

I recently discovered this freeware:

Add-Remove Pro (not the same as the popular 'Add-Remove Manager' which
has no uninstall function).

Any luck with this?
