Add / Remove Programs Keeps Hanging
Aug 1, 2005
My OS is Windows 2000 Professional and every time I try to open Add/Remove P rograms from the Control Panel my system stops responding. When I tried the same using the Safe Mode, the system did NOT hang and I was
able to open the Add/Remove Programs without any problems. I also tried the following.
1) expanded the appwiz.cpl file from the i386 directory to my desktop.
2) moved the appwiz.cpl file to a temp directory.
3) ran the new appwiz.cpl file from my desktop and got this error message
"Internet Explorer Script Error An error has occured in the script on this page......

After starting my computer some programs won't start within the first two-three minutes after XP has finished loading. Winamp (5.5) shows the main window frame but doesn't load any further, Ad-Watch 2007 doesn't load while Ad-Watch SE loads fine, MSN Messenger doesn't load at all and IE7 starts but refuses to load any web pages. Firefox and Word 2007 are not affected. All of these annoyances disappear entirely after about three minutes after which all programs work just fine. In the three minute time frame I am also unable to access My Computer which just shows the flashlight looking for drives. I am, however, able to access files by using shortcuts to eg My Documents.

We use the basic solitare program and a Yahoo card game program and for the last few months the program stalls-just about 5 seconds--Cards freeze and then progress--sometimes it happens infrequently and sometimes a few times in a few minutes. Is there something I can do or is something broken?

I reinstalled Windows XP. For some reason, all of my old programs show up in Windows Explorer, but not in the Start Menu or in Control Panel/Add Remove Programs. Is there a way to fix this?

I have tried previously to uninstall my HP Officejet G85 printer from HP Pavilion a1130n running XP Media. There is no Change/Remove button in Add/Remove Programs but the program is there, 150 MB, and the file suggested on the HP website for uninstalling older printers from XP produces a message that it's "unsupported" can't remember exact verbiage, been a while since last tried. Even reinstalled in the hopes that a message would come up to the effect "this program is already installed, do you want install to remove it prior to completing this install," but it just installs the printer again with a number after it ... I'm up to "hp officejet g series - 3."

My laptop is missing lots of programs under Add/Remove Programs that I know are installed. Furthermore, some that are listed don't have the Remove button next to it. The missing programs aren't listed in the Uninstall registry key and I'm confident there are not viruses on the machine.

"Change/Remove" button is missing for ALL installed programs. If I install a new program, it appears, but for all apps installed previously - it is gone.

The majority of the applications listed in the Add/Remove Programs menu of the Control Panel no longer have the Change and/or Remove buttons visible. Is there any way I can restore these without having to do something evil like a restore?

I would like to remove Windows Messenger off of my laptop. The "add/remove" programs does'nt have a item for me to select to remove it. Right-clicking on the icon in the toolbar doesnt give me an option.

My computer has had this problem for quite some time now. When I go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, only the recently installed programs have the Change/Remove button. How can i make this button appear for my old programs as well?

I want to do a clean install of the licensed version of QuickBooks 2005 CD but not until the downloaded trial is cleaned from the HDD. Back on May 15th, Laura alt.comp.software.financial.quickbooks instructed me how to do this. Finally got around to starting the process a couple weeks ago, then put it on hold again because the uninstall didn't seem to work. I'm stuck. What I did: Uninstalled QBs 2005 Trial using Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs. It appeared to perform the program uninstall successfully and it's no longer listed in Add/Remove. But, according to the HDD the program is *still* installed. Did not find an "uninstall" or "unwise" file in the QB folder. Nor did

I am experiencing a strange problem when attempting to uninstall programs from Control Panel --> Add / Remove programs. When I attempt to uninstall a program, the corresponding programs "uninstaller", asks for a network resource. Here is an example screen shot of what I am seeing when I attempt to uninstall Ad Aware: It doesn't seem to matter what I am attempting to uninstall. In all of the uninstall scenarios that I have seen Add / Remove programs asks for an MSI file with a similar name to the program that I am attempting to uninstall.

Programs on my work computer are not listed in the add or remove programs in control panel. This has caused me a few problems in the pasts when I need to delete programs and had to find the software supplier on a website to give me an uninstall program. There are many programs not listed.

I just stumbled on this website while looking for a solution to my problem with Norton Ghost. Another problem that I am having is: When I go to add/remove programs, there are NO programs. The message says to wait while the list is being populated but nothing ever shows up. From what I have read, it sounds like a registry problem but I don't have a clue how to fix it. Microsoft's answer is way over my head. I tried registry mechanic but that didn't help.

So, how I'm able to uninstall Windows XP and reformat my drive to clear it out? The reason I'm doing this is because my system randomly messes up. When I first turn on the computer yesterday, it started to beep when it did the Memory Test. Also, it kept beeping (long beeps) and can not do nothing at the desktop. The only thing I can do is restart my computer. So, I unplug my keyboard, which stopped the beeping, but it messes up my computer. The one thing I can not do, is go on the internet. I check the Device Manager and the only thing it shows is "1394 Net Adapter". Ok, it uninstalled my ethernet controller.I put in my Abit Installer CD, so that I can install the ethernet controller back on. Oh what's this, I gives an error "An error occurred while launching the setup (0x80040702)." It didn't give me this error before, but the first time it gave me an error about the "ikernel.exe" not installed.

The problem in a nutshell is that today when I opened up the Add/Remove Programs section in Control Center, its only displaying a few installed programs, not all of the ones I have installed.I have a few programs I dont need anymore but I cant figure out how to un-install them since they dont show up in the list.Ive tried system restore but it didnt help, and I have not "tweaked" any settings that could have caused this, im at a loss as to how this happened.Ive also ran Spybot S+D, Ad-Aware SE and did a full system virus scan with VComs System Suite 7 and all came back clean, and I deleted all the temp internet explorer files and history, cookies etc.

I can see the list of all the items, but I can't remove any of them since there is no button. Is something wrong? I'll post a screenshot in a second.On Top of that, some of these programs I don't remember seeing here before, though I doubt this is malware.

I am using XP Home SP2. My "Add & Remove Programs" window only shows the name of programs installed and the frequency used. The change or remove options aren't shown. Has anyone any idea how to fix this?

When I try to add Fax Services as an XP Home SP 2 windows component in the add remove control panel, I get a prompt for file fxsapi.dll. I can see the file in C:WindowsService Pack Filesi386 but this setup routine says it can't find it even when I point it to it. After I hit retry many times I try the other solution it asks for- to insert the windows xp home service pack 2 CD-ROM. I do that and it says it can't find the file on the CD either. I've also tried removing MSN and it says it can't find certain files to remove MSN either. What is corrupted? Service Pack 2? I have 3 other XP computers and never had this problem before. I use the Fax Service all the time so this is sort of important for us.
