| Re: Unable to open Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel Are you logged in as admin? Normally if are you not then to to open Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel you will have to get admin priviledges from the admin of your pc. I suppose you are logged in in your user account with less priviledges and cannot install or remove or modify any software, even any access.

It might be possible that your computer is having the malware or spyware infection because of which the system file got corrupted and you are getting this issue. I will first advise you to install any latest updated antivirus program and then update it with the latest virus definition and run system scan to detect infection and clear the infection. So if you are having this kind of issue then go with the same and see whether this is working to resolve your issue. |
