Turning windows features on and off

When I open windows features to check which are on and which are off in my
vista ultimate system, the features screen remains blank. No features show
up at all. Just blank space with the option to pick OK or Cancel.

Re: Turning windows features on and off

Hi,

Click start, type regedit and hit <enter>. Click continue at the UAC prompt.
Expand the keys at left to reach this one:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Click on it, then on file/export, call it "uninstall_list" and save to your
desktop. Then send it to me (rick@xxxxxx) as an attachment by email (do
not post it here in the group) using a subject line of "per req".

One of the uninstall entries is damaged, I'll see if I can figure out which
one.

Hi Rick,

Do you have a solution to this issue? The only fix so far I've read is to
reinstall Vista which obviously is the last resort. Thx.
