White space in Add/Remove programs

[Shane Nation]

I am using Windows XP home, with SP2.



When the Control panel - Remove/Add programs box displays the programs
installed there are about six programs displayed then a gap and then the
rest of the programs, which I
have to scroll down some way to get to.

I obviously have a display problem with it, or it has become corrupted in
some way.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this please?

Thanks

Shane

Look under here in the registry, one of the icons have a negative number. Change it to a positive and most files hace a 1 icon. Windows will try to guess the icon if you remove the entry altogether.

I'm sorry to be thick, but I can't see any referance in any of the vaules to
an ICON. Can you explain a little more please.

Thanks

I found quite a few with a DisplayIcon of -0, which I cahnged to 0, but that
has not helped?
