I have the same problem. Tried everything listed here. Nothing works. I do have numerous listings in the 'Uninstall' group with long numbers and no names. When you check they do represent programs listed. I recently downloaded MS Office 2007 to try. Is this causing my problem?

Thanks foir the tips, but the two utilities from kellys-korner did not remove the spaces I have in the list, and the windowsxp asddress listed didn't seem to match the problem I was having, any other ideas?

Add/Remove- part of program list is blank.

Go here:

Go down to here on that page:

or try: Add/Remove

When I go to this utility, the window says 'please wait while the list is populated' and then, when the list comes up, about half of the programs are shown, the rest are there, at the bottom of a long blank section, some parts of which have black bits in them. Any ideas of why and/or how to rectify it?
Look at the list alphabetically and try to figure out what program is missing from the list. If you figure out what program is missing:

- Run regedit and look through the listed programs in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ for the filename that's missing from the list, and delete its entry there.

or

- Uninstall the program, then reinstall, if you can from its Startup folder.
If that's what you installed just before the whitespace appeared, it seems to be the cause. Try removing, then reinstalling MS Office 2007.

No go! Tried removing some other programs, no luck. Isn't there a log somewhere showing your program installations. I can't remember all the ones I installed.
Look in the Start Menu for a listing of files. The blank space is in an alphabetical listing. That should help you figure out the name.

Not sure what you mean. My Start Menu has lots of programs listed but no blank spaces. What exactly do you mean?

This original thread was about a white space in the Add/Remove Programs applet. If your problem is that some programs aren't listed, try this:

All Installed Programs May Not Be Displayed in the Add/Remove Programs Tool
