Re: Add/Removed page problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

That fix applies if you have AutoCad installed. If you don't have AutoCad
installed, then download my script below and run it. Post the results here.
This script lists all the negative icon references present in the registry,
and creates a log file for troubleshooting.

That is the 'fix' that doesn't work or apply, but thanks for the suggestion.

This is my second try for assistance as the first didn't work. On my
new Toshiba laptop XP SP2 the add/remove listed programs use the top
10% and the bottom 10% of the entire page. The remaining 80% in the
center of the page is blank or has wide black vertical stripes. Lots
of scrolling between the two portions. The first suggestion was a
defect in the Hkey_Local_Machine\software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion \Uninstall, which is the only place I can find mention
of Add/Remove. It suggested that a ",-1" at the end of the line was
causing the problem. The only line that I have is
"C:\windows\system32\addremove.ico", and nothing more. Suggestions
please. TIA, Dick
