Add/Remove Programs List

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Has anyone else experienced similar problems:
When looking at my Add/Remove Programs list, not all the programs are listed
in it. How do I remove a program that doesn't show up in this list?
Also, My Add/Remove Programs list has an absolutely HUGE gap in the center
of the list. I have to scroll down for 5-10 seconds before the remainder of
the Programs are displayed in the list.

I also had the huge black and white gap between the "F" and "G" Add/Remove
Control Panel, and tried everything suggested without results.

Another forum poster suggested going to Programs folder and using the
uninstaller for a utility called "FileChecker" insides its folder. Bingo!
Long term problem solved! File Checker did not appear ever in the Add/Remove
list, so that may have been my problem, but the huge space is GONE and I have
no need to test it out again with that app.

It may be simply that a folder in the Programs folder that doesn't show up
in Add/Remove list is the fault application (if your black space occurs
elsewhere than between F And G.

I can't tell how relieved I was to solve this problem so easily, especially
with all the suggestions about virus or spyware at the root cause (which I
knew was not the case running a clean and well-protected OS).
