Add or Remove Programs

[David Williams]

When I hit the 'Add or Reove Programs' in the Control
Panel I receive the following message;

"Paser Message
Invalid property: 'keepmstext' at line 185"

How do I over come this?
OS is Windows XP Pro with SP1
Cheers

If you are using StylesXP, change your theme to one that shipped with
Windows XP. Then try using Add/Remove Programs again.

Sharon,
Thanks for your reply, but it didn't work!! Any other
ideas?
The theme being used is one that was shipped with XP.
Any idea what a 'Parser Message' is?

Sorry, Dave. The error message was similar enough that I thought that might
help. Some themes in StylesXP can cause a parser 472 error when accessing
Add/Remove Programs.

Suggest trying a start in Safe Mode to see if the error repeats there. If
it does not, try disabling your startup programs and start normally. If
still no problem that will at least confirm the error is due to one of your
installed applications that run in the background. Be reenabling one at a
time you should be able to track down the offender.
