| UGH!! .. Windows XP Pro SP2 and AutoCad 2002!!!!
Guys..
I have a problem. I have a A75 Toshiba laptop that is installed with XP Pro and SP2. EVERYTHING is fine with my control panel UNTIL I install AutoCad 2002 on it. (I know this from several OS re-installs)
After I install Autocad 2002 on it, only a few of my programs get listed in the ADD/REMOVE list in the Control Panel. 
WTF....anyone got any ideas?

I've sometimes noticed that some program installs create a HUGE gap between programs, this might be your case, too.
So, perhaps you can still browse downward even though it appears to be empty after the first few items. | |

Ive tried alot of different installation orders.... and everything is always fine until I instal Autocad 2002.
this last time was .... Fresh install of Windows XP Pro,,,,(everything fine), then Toshiba Drivers,,,, (everything fine), Misc. Software ie. Nero, Office XP, etc,,, (everything fine)... then Autocad 2002 and BOOM... control panel/ Add/Remove Programs goes to shit.

What happens when you uninstall Autocad? Everything go back to normal or is it still screwed up? | |
