Add/Remove Programs Doesn't Work After Removing AOL

If I have posted this article to any of the incorrect groups, I apologize.
Also, if this problem has been recently handled, I could not find it in any
search on Google News (maybe I didn't use the correct keywords), I apologize.

Machine: Toshiba Satellite P25-S670, Pentium4 3.2GHz, 512MB RAM, XP-Media
Edition, SP-1.

Problem: AOL came installed on machine. Through Control Panel>Add/Remove
Programs, AOL was removed. Now, Add/Remove brings up screen, and begins survey
of installed programs, but none ever appear. HDD activity progresses for about
30 sec, then ceases, and no installed programs appear.

In Safe Mode, Add/Remove works fine, just not in Normal mode.

I've Restarted and Shutdown/Started several times, and the result in Add/
Remove is the same.

Any pointer on Registry entries that might be affecting Add/Remove, would also
be appreciated.

Help - TIA
Hunt
