Why does Add or Remove Programs show a large blank space? -

The link above describes the most common reason. In the Registry are
sub-keys for each installed program, under this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
If the installer of a program included a "DisplayIcon" value in it's
sub-key, and the value data is a negative number, it will result in a
large blank space in Add or Remove Programs. Find the program or
programs whose "DisplayIcon" value is a negative number and remove the
negative number.
(If you have AutoCad or AutoCad Land Desktop installed, there is a
separate fix for the issue....so let me know if you have AutoCad
installed).
