JSI Tip 2764. Windows 2000 Add/Remove Programs tool displays incorrectly?

When you use the Add/Remove Programs tool, the installed program box may display only a single text string, a large blank space before the installed programs, or other display problems.

Most likely, a programs uninstaller removed registry entries required by the Add/Remove Programs tool. You can reset these registry entries by opening a CMD prompt and typing:

REGSVR32 APPWIZ.CPL

If this doesn't fix the problem, see the registry entries at Q266668.
