    Add or remove programs won't populate

    This is a Windows XP Media Center 2002 edition, pretty old computer. Since last few days am facing some problem with this system now. First is whenever I open Add and Remove programs, it never populates. I would have tried it more than 50 times so far, same result. Second problem is system restore window takes much time to open.

    I’ve run deep scan with updated anitivirus and dint found anything. So am sure my system is not infected. Is there any other workaround for the same ? Please help.

    As far as Add and Remove applet is concerned, you should check out this KB Article describing the solution for incorrectly displayed programs in Add/Remove: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266668/en-us#kb1 . And about System Restore just got to Start, click RUN, type the following and press Enter:

    %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

    Problem should be fixed.
