Partially populated list when opening Add or Remove Programs

[Mike A]

I get only a partially populated list when opening Add or
Remove Programs. The list will populate up to the A's,
but not beyond. Any ideas?

Did you try to scroll down??
Do you maybe have a huge white space and then more program listings??

Read the instructions at the top
Scroll down to
226. Right hand side
and click on...
Remove the White Space from Add or Remove

Hi Kelly,

I have to use that fix all the time after adding or removing software. My
machine probably wouldn't even *run* without all the fixes from your site!

So, yes, another happy customer.

<LOL> Thank you and ah, another happy customer, glad to hear it, Wes. <w>
But you do have me wondering why on that particular one. This generally
only comes into play when the DisplayIcon value is set to a negative (-)
number via the program itself in the registry. Could you give me other
examples of programs that are causing or have caused this issue for you?

Howdy Kelly,

AutoCAD LT 2000i is the usual culprit. There have been one or two others,
but I do not remember what they were.

And yes, a negative number. i.e....

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{5783
F2D7-0065-0409-0000-0060B0CE6BBA}
DisplayIcon
REG_SZ
C:\Program Files\AutoCAD LT 2000i\aclt.exe,-1

Thanks, Wes. Knew about that one and two others. Thanks for the reply.
