530396 2007-03-05 07:24:00 Windows XP Professional
Add Remove Programs only lists 4 or 5 programs
The scroll bar indicates there are more but they aren't visable.
Did a successful windows repair install, but no change.

Any insights as to why they aren't visable?

530397 2007-03-05 19:30:00 If SP2 is installed did u tick show updates? Speedy Gonzales (78)
530398 2007-03-05 19:37:00 It has service pack 1.
I will download service pack 2 and see what results I get.

Thank you

530399 2007-03-05 20:28:00 Installed SP2
Problem still exists.
Tried both with & without "Show Upgrades" ticked; no difference.
5 programs are displayed; the scroll bar indicates there are a lot more there but, they are not visible.
I can down arrow through the 5 but when I down arrow again the whole selection turns blue.

I just down arrowed past the large blue selection & some further programs are displayed.
Almost as if there is a program there but not visible.
Any suggestions how to deal with this?

530401 2007-03-05 20:52:00 So have u installed IE 7, WMP 11,and the XP updates as well?

By the sounds of it u haven't.

What exactly have u installed (or do u think you've installed)?

Just read your XP repair post, you most probably have to reinstall what was installed before.

530402 2007-03-05 20:57:00 Will do the full gamut of updates & will report back.

Thank you

530403 2007-03-05 22:36:00 Did all the updates.
No change.
There must be a program installed that is not showing.
I compared the programs list & the list in Add Remove Programs & they seem to be the same - no gaps that would explain the blank space.
I am going to leave it as is.

Thank you for your help.
