Guest KCav Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 There are 18 items listed with no size. Most are programs that have been removed, only the name remains. However, there are items that were removed and reinstalled. What causes this? -- KC
Guest Paul Pedersen Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Re: Errors on Add Remove Program List To reply to this, and an earlier question about registry cleaners, this is another problem that Ace Utilities has fixed for me on a few occasions.
