| 191074 | 2003-11-11 23:28:00 | Hi all I wanted to add backup to my Windows 98 setup but when I went into Window Setup under Add/Remove Programs there was absolutely nothing listed. How do I bring the list back so I can Add/Remove Windows components? Cheers. |

| 191075 | 2003-11-12 09:23:00 | start, settings, control panel,add remove programs, click on the windows components tab | Jacob4165 (199) | ||
| 191076 | 2003-11-12 11:56:00 | I did this and my point is the component list is completely blank. That is my problem. Nothing at all is listed. No options to add or remove. Any ideas anyone. |

| 191078 | 2003-11-12 15:04:00 | Hate to give you bad news, but your quest is kaput - there's no way to recover the add/remove components if they're not listed A way out is to re-install a programme, over the top of any existing one, and then it should be added to the list, then you should be able to remove it entirely. Tweak UI won't help |

| 191080 | 2003-11-12 23:53:00 | hmm try reinstalling win98 but chose the upgrade option (run setup from windows) this should repairs this and any relating errors while keeping most of your programs/hardware settings. As a last resort export/make a copy of your favourites, documents, etc. and do a full install (might need to remove the windows directory first) |

| 191081 | 2003-11-13 00:36:00 | Don't think this will work but worth a try before reinstall. Do a search for a file called setupx.dll and rename to setupx.old Then go to Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Information - Tools menu - System File Checker Then select extract one file from installation disk and type in setupx.dll then click start. On the next page everything should be filled in for you so just click OK. Now see if that has fixed your problem! |
