Add or Remove Programs

[Don J]

I have two installations of Win'XP. One has "Add or Remove Programs"
installed and one does not. In the case of the one that has it installed it
appears as a specific item on the takbar. Opening it up shows a single list
of all running programs. By selecting any particular item on the list, it
open it up, and there are one or two buttons. The button marked Delete is
always there. The button marked Modify is sometimes there. By pressing the
Delete Button one is able to delete the selected program.

I know of a "Task Manager" look alike that has many of the same features of
"Add or Remove Programs". But on my system the "Task Manager" version
doesn't seem to work properly.

I don't know where I got it but I would like to add "Add or Remove Programs"
to the installation that currently does't have it. Any help would be
appreciated.

Re: Add or Remove Programs

Is this "Add or Remove Programs" different than the standard one in Control
Panel?

Re: Add or Remove Programs

"Add or Remove Programs" was exactly what I was lookiing for.

It turns out that I had a program that wasn't behaving properly. It was
designed to run continually. If I exited Win'XP, it was designed to restart
when Win'XP restarted again. Imagine my frustration when the program
started misbehaving and I couldn't stop it and restart it again. I tried
"Taskmaster", but found that "End Process" didn't quite work as expected.
The Process seemed to be removed, but when I went over to the program to
reinstall it, it was still running.

Then I tried "Add or Remove Programs", and it worked perfectly.

I can't figure out what you're talking about unless you're asking about
the program Add/Remove Pro, which Google will find easy enough. But ...
the problem you ahve indicates something seriously wrong; ignoring it
and not fixing it is folly.

Re: Add or Remove Programs

I stopped the program. That stopped it from misbehaving. Then I restarted
it, And it ran perfectly.
