WindowsXP Software programlist not getting displayed

[HaPeErKa]

Hija, could someone tell me how to get finally the so-called software/programlist displayed? Looks like the XP system cannot retrieve easily that list. I want to remove some software, the only way to do so is at the moment going to Program Files. How can I solve that problem? Thanks in advance.

Are you asking about Add/Remove Programs found in the Control Panel?

Yep that's right Steve. Now and then it looks like that add/remove software list is not showing up at all. At the moment I want to replace an internet security program, looks like the problem re-occurs when an update has been done by the system.. what is the best alternative way to remove that internet security properly?
