Screen corruption in Add or Remove Programs aplet


Recommended Posts

I recently had some problems with a software application affecting my CD

drivers. In the end, I returned to a previous Windows restore point which was

created just before I installed some software, and the CD drivers are fine.

But now, every time I go to the add or remove programs dialog and scroll down

the list, there is a point where all I get is black vertical lines instead of

listings of software. It appears that all of the correct entries are there,

but the list is split in 2 - some programs are listed, then there are these

black lines of corruption for a while, and then the list continues. Any ideas

on what has happened here?

The black vertical lines could be a blank white space too. You can look

at the alphabetical listing of programs and figure out which one is

missing or damaged, then remove it through its Uninstall options (if

available). Also try this:

 

226. (r-h column) Remove the White Space from Add or Remove

More.. scroll down to the Add/Remove section.
