I reecently had to uninstall zonealarm pro due to some system problems and after doing so only a few of my installed softwares were shown..My computer still has all these softwares but why can't I see them in the applet? Does anyone know how to make these softwares visible in the Control Panel applet again,
There are so few that I don't even have a scroll bar.

Thanks in advance for your comments

Do you mean Add or Remove programs?

What types of system problems did you have that made you uninstall Zonealarm?

Did you use any "cleaner" type apps recently"

Registry cleaners could have deleted them...I know sometimes Tuneup Utilities tries to remove'em sometimes like what he said^.

Weird I look upon TU2006 as almost idiot proof. Never had problems with it.

What?:mellow: When I run it's RegCleaner I've noticed it tries to delete my Outpost regkey for Add/Remove progs. Besides other progs like CCleaner's reg issues fix...well...it goes "fix" happy ALOT.

tuneup utilities never ever ever damaged anything on mine, use it daily

Yup. That's my experience as well. I use the 1-Click Maintenance all the time.

If you used a Regcleaner try running the backup utility to replace the Reg keys .
If an application is not registered, it is not listed in Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

You had a virus or ?
