Control Panel Not Showing All Programs

[digitald]

I need to uninstall a program but when I open "Add/Remove Programs" it only shows down to programs that start with an "e." It had been showing all my programs before now.

I don't know when the problem began, but I just noticed it this time when I need to uninstall a program that starts with an "m." Where are the rest of my programs in the list? How do I make it show all my programs again? I have rebooted the PC several times (for other reasons), but it hasn't helped this.


I'm on a Hewlett Packard P4 WinXP Home, SP2, 200GB Hard Drive, 512MB RAM, 3.06mHz.

Thanks.

Have you made sure there isn't a scroll bar and a lot of empty space under the "e's" before they resume?

Thanks, glc.

There is an AWFUL lot of blank space under the last e programs. I had stopped scrolling down when some wide, vertical black lines showed up. The other programs are below that blank space and black lines. That's weird... Do you know what's causing that?

The only thing I have seen in the past that does that is Autocad.

I've seen this symptom from certain Malware. Don't know specifically which one but you might want to try an online scan with the Ewido Spyware remover at Ewido.net.

Download and install Easycleaner from here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download414.html
Easycleaner has an add/remove programs feature built into it, see if you get the same results using that feature.

Thanks everyone!

It might be related to something for AutoCAD functionality. I installed Adobe Acrobat recently and it has some kind of 3D-capable features that support CAD.
