When I open the add/remove program window, it is empty.. This must have
happed after a system restore. How do I get my installed programs to appear,
so that I can manage them? Thanks.
 
Try scrolling the window down and see if they are below a lot of blank
space.

You are incorrect. I did not write that at all.
I have nothing to fix as you surely are aware as you have removed my
reply to the OP in your quote.
Please reply to the OP and not to me and do not edit my replies in
such a manner.

You might be an MVP, but you need a little Usenet help.

# 1Top posting is bad form and confusing unless you are the only person
in the group participating in a thread.

#2 In your particular case, your delimiter takes out everything below
your top post on reply.

Fix it or stop top-posting.
 
Ps - Read carefully and you will see that Lostinspace was the
original poster. It wasn't attributed to you.
 
At least 99% of replies from Microsoft personnel are top-posted.

Please note that Microsoft MVPs are *not* Microsoft personnel. Nor do
we all top-post.

I definitely know that.

I considered whether to add another comment to my comment and obviously I
should have added it. The comment is that I know that Microsoft personnel
seldom help out in this newsgroup but there are other newsgroups, such as
network programming, in which Microsoft personnel definitely do participate.
When they do, they top-post.

In that case I apologize for telling you something you already knew. I
misunderstood what you were saying.

Yes, that's almost universally true.

I know many of the MVPs bottom post and I am grateful for their
dedication and help, no matter how they post.

Heck, the MVPs don't share because they have to.

The people that insist uponbottom posting are so determined that their way
is the only correct way and they are so inflexible that I feel a need to
balance their comments. As you can see, I can be flexible but they cannot
be. They are so inflexible that they don't think about what they are saying.
Often what they really mean is that messages in newsgroups should be made
inline and unrelated text should be clipped, but if that is what they mean
to say, they don't; they just say don't top-post.

I guess too much is assumed by the people who don't like top posting.

Personally, the problem I have is with thread continuity. The more
people respond, the more difficult the thread is to follow.
