that started appearing a few weeks ago when i open a/r programs.  i scroll down and that is in the window, and i scoll down more and its the norm (programs in a list) same with at the top.

Waah! You might want to try and do system restore.

Wow thats broked.

When I get home I will post how to expand a new Add Remove programs applet.

code:

---

Start > run > cmd {enter}

copy %windir%\Service Pack Files\i386\appwiz.cpl %windir$\system32

cmd promt doesnt recognize the command...like it doesnt know what "C:\windows\service pack files" is  (i typed all of %windir%\Service Pack Files\i386\appwiz.cpl %windir$\system32 in command prompt)

Try it without spaces, like this: C:\windows\ServicePackFiles
That's how it is on my computer.

I tried it and it works.

Cmd prompt says it cannot find the path specified if i do it your way

EDIT: Here are some pics as a scroll down so you can get the idea of how it turns into stripes





and that keeps going on until in the center which is the first picture of the thread has all stripes there, and then as you scroll down more it is like the pictures above just flipped around and at the bottom there are more programs being listed.

code:

---

Start > run > cmd {enter}

copy "%windir%\Service Pack Files\i386\appwiz.cpl" %windir$\system32

Matty not using quote marks

Edit: Try this version of the command before removing themes: you may not need to remove them
