| 186909 | 2003-10-26 22:37:00 | When I click on Add/Remove from my control panel (win2k system) first I get an error then it says in the A/R box: There are no programs installed on this computer. (!!!) Why does it do this? The error says: An unexpected error occured. Class not registered. res://appwiz.cpl/listbox.htc Line: 225 Then the programs appear below view so i have to scroll to them, and when i click on them the change and remove buttons are blanked out. Grrrrrr!!!!X-( Why must windows do this!?!?!?X-( |

| 186910 | 2003-10-26 23:08:00 | The problem involves the APPWIZ . CPL component, which is invoked by the panel . If this component is damaged or missing, you will get the error, but its possible its become unregistered . Get to a command prompt by typing Start - Run - CMD, and at the command prompt type REGSVR32 APPWIZ . CPL . If this doesn't work try running SFC (System File Checker) with the /SCANNOW option (type SFC /SCANNOW) . You may be asked to provide the Windows OS CD . There is a space after SFC in the command line . |

| 186913 | 2003-10-28 04:22:00 | Doesn't look good there Ham. Have a read here (searchwin2000.techtarget.com) which basically advises what GF has said already, but adds if they fail, you can use the upgrade instruction. Good luck. Oh there is a Microsoft article in their knowledge base here (support.microsoft.com) but it sure looks complicated. |

| 186916 | 2003-10-30 00:53:00 | I'm gonna try pulling some files off coldfusions pooter | hamstar (4) | ||
| 186917 | 2003-11-26 02:29:00 | Okay... none of those worked. I tried pulling the appwiz.cpl file of coldfusions computer but it did nothing because he has SP4. Then I tried updating my system to SP3 but to no avail. Does ANYONE know how to fix this without a format... C'mon, someone must know. |
