Add/Remove Program list
I have just purchased a Dell laptop with Vista capability but running the
Windows XP option. Everything appears to be running normal except in the Add/Remove program. Installed Autocad 2002 shows a long blank space with no text, so no way to uninstall. Had to download a cleanup utility do do the uninstall. All other applications are reflected in list as normally. The first time I saw this I didn't realize what was going on and thought I had many applications not listed but discovered all applications in following alphabetical order were there but had to scroll nearly to the botton to see them. Dell says it may be incompatability with the XP service pak 3 used on the laptop installed Windows XP operating system. Any ideas how to correct this problem? |

If by clean up utility you refer to the MS Installer cleanup utility, that only removes the win installer files, and not the actual program. "Roy S" wrote in message ...
