"Add or Remove Programs" menu has a large, empty gap?

[Boobers]

Hey now, everybody!

When I open the "Add or Remove Programs" menu, it seems at first to only list 4 programs, but I can scroll down about 20 pages (!) and the rest of the programs are listed at the bottom of the last page.

I need to know how to get rid of this large gap in the listing and fix this problem. I poked around in the "Uninstall" key in the registry, but I didn't find anything that looked out of place. I did find this posted: This is generally due to the DisplayIcon having a negative number. From here you can either remove the negative number or remove the last application listed: Start/Run/Regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{}

It's happening on a fresh "WinXP Pro SP2" install and there are barely any programs installed (so far).

Any ideas? 😕

I've been looking for hours, and just when I ask for help, I find the answer myself! 😱

Anyway, it had to do with the icon that "AutoCAD 2002" uses in the "Add and Remove Programs" menu. I found the fix here. 😀 (Just in case this happens to anybody else).
