When I open the "Add/Remove Programs" in control panel, only a few programs appear at the top of the list when sorted by name...yet the scroll bar is very small making it look like the list is large (as it should be), but no matter how long I wait, I don't get the complete list...at the top. There is a long long gap in the list and if I scroll to the bottom, the rest of the programs are there. If I sort by "Frequency of Use" I get a longer list...but everything is not there. This is weird. Anyone else seen this, and/or have a solution? Thanks!!
 
The long long long gaps of white space are caused by a registry error in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

This program usually helps:
Also read the Blog that is linked on the site. If the program above doesn't fix the problem, you will learn enough to fix it manually by editing the registry.
