After uninstalling a program using the "add/remove programs" icon in the control panel of Windows 98, I noticed some slowness in response time. This cleared up after the program was uninstalled. BUT . . . the next time I went to the "add/remove" there were no programs at all listed as having ever been installed. Previously there was a complete list of all installed programs on the machine. A local computer maven suggested that the registry was possibly hosed. However, he did not know how to tell the OS to rescan the installed programs and list them. Since that time, I have installed a few programs and they ARE showing up on the list. How can I get the machine to list all the installed programs? sandbarn1
