Add or Remove Programs Problem

[Jack]

I am having a problem on my xp home machine.
When opening add or remove programs in control panel the program list stops
at the end of a program called AOL Toolbar 2.0 then there is a very large
blank area and the lists starts again with programs starting with B.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Jack

That problem is usually caused by wrong registry values or subkeys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ key.

You'll find info in the built in Windows help files - have you looked?
Try typing registry repair and reading the options available. If you have
Norton Utilities that has tools to help, as do many other third party
programs.
*Remember you can cause serious problems when editing the registry so be
careful, and back it up before you start changing things- create a restore
point. They don't back everything and can fail but they give you a chance if
there are problems.
