| Can't remove or modify programs from control panel Add/Remove Programs any more.. modify/remove programs from within the add/remove .cpl applet.. and what is in there doesn't appear to be current! XP seems to be running fine and I can still install applications, but just can't remove them via the control panel applet.. HELP!!!! The applet lists many programs, but NONE of them can be removed via that applet... Thanks for any help or ideas!  |

I don't know a fix for this problem but someone may. If not, perhaps this info will be helpful. The add-remove applet is merely a directory as to where the uninstall file is located for a particular program. Generally if you go to the program folder, you will be able find the file (normally will have uninstall or unwise in the name) to click to uninstall a program. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Robert Leonard" <rleonard@opto22.com> wrote in message news:E2CEC585-05CD-4CC5-945F-D2DCCF728DCD@microsoft.com... > After uninstalling Norton Utilities I seem to have lost the buttons for > modify/remove programs from within the add/remove .cpl applet.. and what > is in there doesn't appear to be current! > > XP seems to be running fine and I can still install applications, but just > can't remove them via the control panel applet.. > > HELP!!!! > > > The applet lists many programs, but NONE of them can be removed via that > applet... > > Thanks for any help or ideas! > > |

I hope somebody knows a way to fix this.. I can uninstall some of the stuff via 3rd party uninstallers, and all new things I install I can uninstall.. also with 3rd party uninstallers.. but nothing can be removed via Microsoft's add/remove application.. in fact the MS application shows many things that I am not sure are even installed!
