When I go to Add and Remove programmes, many are not listed. The programmes
still run, but just aren't listed. Neither are any of the hotfix updates
from MS. What's going on?
 
Ian,

See if this helps. From Kelly:

The white space disappeared but I am still missing lots of programmes



See if the fix 227 (right) in Kelly's site helps:
