Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs Missing
I was trying to remove a program using the Add/remove
programs in the control panel. Only a very few of the programs on my computer are contained in the remove panel. I must have at least 40 programs installed on my computer, but only 7 of them are now showing up in the control panel remove panel. I don't know what happened to all of the other programs that were contained in the add/remove panel. Any suggestions on how to get the programs relisted in the control add/remove panel? .. |

I'm thinking the same thing I posted to your query of 20 minutes before this one... YMMV. Rick |

Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs Missing
All Installed Programs May Not Be Displayed in the Add/Remove Programs
Tool http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=240348 I have fixed several of these recently for others. The problem will occur in these two situations: 1. The uninstall keyname for an application is greater than 63 characters. Solution: Rename the keyname. e.g. this is invalid [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\12345678901234567890123456789 01234567890123456789012345678901234] 2. The DisplayName for the key is greater than 63 characters. Solution: Shorten DisplayName e.g. this is invalid "DisplayName"="12345678901234567890123456789012345 67890123456789012345678901234" If you need a second opinion, export the key to a text file and email it to me. *** Note that the invalid entry that can cause this is not necessarily connected with the ones missing so you must check all entries. .....Alan - Alan Edwards MS MVP W95/98 Systems In microsoft.public.windowsme.general, "Bill Steelman" wrote: I was trying to remove a program using the Add/remove programs in the control panel.
