First of all, I would just like to say that this website is the best I have ever found for computer stuff. With that said, on to my question. Whenever I try to double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel, it doesn't open. I'm not sure why it happens, so please help me out.
I hit this page with a Google search for a fix to the same problem. Hopefully NeeKnight already found this solution after checking the M$ support website. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;329891&Product=win2000 SYMPTOMS When you try to open the Add/Remove Programs tool in Windows 2000, it does not open and you do not receive an error message.
