I ran into a strange error on my PC. when I try to open add/remove programs from control panes it shows me a message:
"Parser Message
Value creation failed '' at line 472"
and when you press the OK button it closes ant the add/remove window doesn't open.
what could be done to repair this error??? I realy don't want to reinstall my windows.

I found <A HREF="http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/49984.html" target="_new">this </A> for you. Hope it helps.

My Daddy used to tell me:
<b>It's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're stupid,
then it is to open your mouth and prove it.</b>
I never was good at taking advice!

Thanks. It worked almost perfectly :)
NOw when I select a program in the add/remove programs its name becomes REALY italic, it swings about 45-50 degress. but thats not a problem for me :))
