Add/Remove Programs Does Not Populate
Running XP Home SP3
When I select control panel/add remove programs, it runs and says wait while list is being populated, and although the hard drive is working nothing gets populated. I have not had this issue previously. I recently installed software for a Logitech trackball mouse and a Garmin GPS. Don't know if there's any connection. What do I have to do to get the list populated? Thanks. -- "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give." - Sir Winston Churchill |

When you have like a few hundred programs installed, it seems like it could take 10 minutes to populate. There are some third party programs that are much faster though. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Thunderbird v3.0 Centrino Core2 Duo 2GHz - 1.5GB - Windows 7 |

I waited over 30 minutes. Previously it loaded in much shorter period of
time. "BillW50" wrote in message ...

Unless your CPU is maxed out doing something else in the background (like video format converting), I agree you have a problem. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Thunderbird v3.0 Centrino Core2 Duo 2GHz - 1.5GB - Windows 7 |

Problem Resolved. I'm not sure how but I did a restore to a previous date
and also rolled back to a previous setting on a registry cleanup done by System Mechanic. Thanks for the advice. Ken "Peter Foldes" wrote in message ...
