All of a sudden when I go to control panel and click on sdd/remove programs-nothing happens- it just frexxes - other items in control panel work fine when I click on them. Thanks. happyjack78

Try doing a 'repair' from the system CD.

Below is a post that I copied incase I ever have this problem, it had several "Thank You" on it so I thought might be a good fix and kept it. It might be the problem you have, check it out.

Reply: Try this - it usually works. Copy and paste these lines exactly as they are, into Notepad, starting at Regedit4, and including everything down to the last inverted commas. Save it as SETUPX.REG in My Documents and then double click the file to run it. The registry entries will be edited and hopefully all will be well again.
