Did you reboot?

Both indicated white space removed. I also did the registry edit with no help. This space starts as a solid color and goes into broad vertical black and white stripes before becomming completely black. If you keep scrolling, you arrive at the programs beginning with the remainder of the "O's". There does not appeart to be anything missing - just the huge space. Thanks Lugnut |

No ideas. We all have our XP problems. Some you just have to live with.
;-( I won't list my XP problems here. -- Hope this helps. Let us know. Wes In , lugnut hunted and pecked: On Thu, 11 Nov 2004 19:37:44 -0700, "Wesley Vogel" wrote: Did you reboot? Yes. The machine has been rebooted several times since with no change. I went thru all the uninstall registry keys to find all the 0 or negative values. Eliminated all of them one by one rebooting after each change after backing the registry. No change so far. The system apparently works as it should with the exception of the large blank area in the uninstall list. I even uninstalled the last software before the area and the first one after to see if one of them was the problem. I would just roll the system back a day or two but, I don't know when this started. Win XP has been extremely stable and troublefree here. BTW, I am using WinXP Pro SP2. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. |
