Hi!

When I open 'Add and remove programs' menu, is too much white space (140
clicks on the vertical scroll bar) between the last programs started with the
letter A and first program started with the letter B. Thereafter, all normal.
How can I fix this, please?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried clicking on 'show updates' and sort by to see if that
corrects the problem?

The Old New Thing : Why does Add or Remove Programs show a large blank
space?
http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2005/05/26/422076.aspx

Often it is an icon listed with a -1, as described in the article.

Do you have AutoCad installed but not listed in Add or Remove Programs?
It causes this symptom too. There is a specific fix for that on Kelly's
page here:

Add or Remove - White Space

AutoCad Fix
Autodesk Land Desktop 3 Fix

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\{}
