Got a problem in my Add/remove

AusROM · 02-19-2008, 10:00 AM

Not long ago I did a fresh install of XP when i got a new Mobo and other stuff. Anyway, everything is running as sweet as you could want but i do have a glitch I need to fix.
You see, when i go to my control panel and then add/remove software to remove a demo or something that i am finished with I see all my games and programs as you would expect, however after all the programs starting with the letter C I get this huge black section thats about 5 pages long and then it starts again from the letter D as it should.

Is there anyway I can get rid of this huge black section in my add/remove programs so that all my game and program installs read a-z without interuption?
If it needs a reinstall of XP again, don't bother, and i will put up with it, there is no way i am going to start reinstalling over 700GB of games all over again. Then the patches and then all the configs and then all the game saves and then all the games external programs etc etc etc.... sheesh i am sure you get the idea.

No clue, you could try programs like cccleaner to see if Windows sees some odd registry error.

interman · 02-19-2008, 10:59 AM

Yeah either do that or look up in the registry yourself. Check out How to Manually Remove Programs from the Add or Remove Programs Tool

I agree with Gazz and Interman.

Tis a good program, you can back up your registry before yah do anything also.

Richard_Rahl · 02-20-2008, 06:30 PM

It allows you to clean your system's temporary files also. Use both options regularly, and you won't be dissapointed :biggrin:

i actually do clean ups on ppls computers for a living and i use ccleaner on a constant basis
you would be hard pressed to really mess up your system with that prog
lord i even install it and show the Lusers how to use it!
hehehehe i even had to install it on nxs's puter to fix a reg problem with activex that was preventing him from installing the newer versions of flash
