Funny Story

Funny Story. Add or Remove programs simply stopped showing anything in its
programs list. Just blank. No message saying it would take a few minutes
to populate the list. Nothing. Changed sort options to see if I could wake
it up. NADA. It cycled like it thought it was changing the sort order of a
populated list of nothing. Very odd. I tried restarting several times,
like 5 I think. NADA. Still no programs in the list.

So, thinks I, better get my butt onto an XP newsgroup and see what is to be
said about this. So I did. I even dillegently read through all the recent
entries to see if someone posted something abou this and SP3. No entries.
So I opened this very entry that I am typing in right now. I decided to
give it one more try and BAM it works.

Just like taking your car to the mechanic and the noise goes away.

and looked for soultions and come up blank...
only to come up with the answer the moment *after*
I've hit the "send" button...<G>
