Hello all, I am running Windows 2000 Server(with SP3 installed). From last few days Im having problem that when I try to open "Add/Remove Programs" from Control Panel is does not open, and nothing appears on screen, means no error no dialog box. I have restarted my Server many times and have tried to open it from Safe Mode, but its not going to Open. Please help me to solve this problem. Thank You Farhan

Lemme guess, you recently upgraded to IE 6? You need to run SFC /PURGECACHE from the command line. Make sure you have your 2K server disc as it will be needed. Just an FYI: There is an MSKB on this issue. THe number I cannot remember, but I can tell you that if the sfc /purgecache does not work then you're going to have to do a parllel installation. Good luck!
