I have Win2k3 Server and when I try to use the Add or Remove Programs tool, it's completely blank (i.e. no listings of any installed programs). What happened that could have caused this? I'm completely stumped (and cannot un-install some programs).

Virus can do that. See if you have anything under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall Every CLSID should have 'DisplayName' (less than 63 char, I believe). If it's not there or longer than 63, it won't show up. In that case, just enter the program name in DisplayName.
1.why doesn't add remove programs completely remove files?
I messed up the settings on a program (audacity), so I uninstalled it using windows add-remove, and reinstalled it. The reinstalled version retained the same messed up settings. Why doesn't Windows remove all the data when it removes a program? Is there a way to do this? Perhaps if I delete all references to the program in the Registry? Thanks Tony
2.IE blank and Add/Remove Programs blank
My Son's computer mysteriously seems to be missing some registry entries or something, to cause Add/Remove Programs to be blank, and IE to come up with only the background color, on every web page you visit. Error when opening Add/Remove Programs is: An Unexpected error occurred. Invalid Argument res://sp3res.dll/default.hta Line: 83 Anyone have any ideas? Thanks info, Christie
3.can't add programs or remove programs out of XP add/remove
When I try to add Fax Services as an XP Home SP 2 windows component in the add/remove control panel, I get a prompt for file fxsapi.dll. I can see the file in C:\Windows\Service Pack Files\i386 but this setup routine says it can't find it even when I point it to it. After I hit retry many times I try the other solution it asks for- to insert the windows xp home service pack 2 CD-ROM. I do that and it says it can't find the file on the CD either. I've also tried removing MSN and it says it can't find certain files to remove MSN either. What is corrupted? Service Pack 2? I have 3 other XP computers and never had this problem before. I use the Fax Service all the time so this is sort of important for us. Can anyone help?
4.Completely unable to install IIS in add and remove programs
I have been trying to install IIS for 3 days now using the Add and Remove programs feature. 1. I go to Control Panel and call Add and remove programs. 2. I click on the "Windows Components" button and when the list appear I select IIS. It greys because only some components will be installed without manual selection 3. The Install starts and runs untill it's time to copy the 1st file from the SP2 files folder. It says it cannot copy it, but it shows me the file it "cannot copy" as being present. 4. I look in the SP2 files folder in Windows. All the files it needs are there. None of them can be copied by the install procedure I have re-installed SP2 and also copied their files to a CD and tried to use that as an install service. No luck. Has anybody got any idea what I might do next?
5.add/remove program completely EMPTY !
I'd like to remove some programs I've installed and I don't need anymore and I've tried to remove them from add/remove panel in control panel. When I click on it, it's written: please wait during list creation (translated, sorry, it may be something else in the english version). and then nothing. It doesn't freeze, I can change the sorting by other choices, but it still show nothing other than this message. I've waited up to 10 minutes and nothing, checking and unchecking "show updates" changes nothing. Add/remove windows components works fine. Please help ! Bob
