Uninstalling software

[Guest]

Unfortunately this hasn't helped. The problem is not that I am getting an
error message but that the link doesn't work; when I click on it nothing
happens.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Clicking "Add/Remove Windows Components" causes an error and does not launch

the program

Try uninstalling from safe mode and see if the problem persists, refer to
the below sites for safe mode access information:

Let's try this:

Search (Start > Search) your system drive (usually the C: drive) for this
file: appwiz.cpl. Have you got this file? If so, double-click on the icon.
Voila!

(If you haven't got that file, or if double-clicking on the icon doesn't do
it for you, it's a simple matter to extract a fresh copy.)

Sorry to hijack the tread but I have a similar problem with "add or
remove programs" Going to the control panel and clicking on the
add/remove icon opens the new pane/window but the list of applications
never populates. I've searched with google and not found any solution.
I have even done a rebuild of the OS, WinXP Pro SP2, to know avail.
I'm reluctant to use third party applications to do the remove. Ant
help would be greatly appreciated.
