I searched on your problem and there are a lot of people who have experienced the large gap in Add/Remove. Many of them have traced it to a prior install of AutoCAD. This seems to be just one of many bad uninstallers that leave problem registry entries behind, as discussed in this article by Raymond Chen:<br /> <a href='http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2005/05/26/422076.aspx'>http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2005/05/26/422076.aspx</a></p> <p>Delete these bad registry entries, if you have them. If you need help with this, ask here and we can guide you. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/large-space-in-add-remove-programs#post-36600 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:53:34 +0000 whs 36600@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Just check whether there are any big files that seem strange to you. Every file in the colored part will show up with it's name when you click on it. Only look for the big ones. And you can always post a screenshot. Then we'll have a look at it. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/large-space-in-add-remove-programs#post-36590 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:06:09 +0000 cctenpro 36590@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Im sorry whs, but I am not very knoledgeable and installed the program and its very interesting but I have no idea what to do with it,,,sorry,,,any other ideas???? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/large-space-in-add-remove-programs#post-36579 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 10:49:13 +0000 whs 36579@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Maybe you want to use WinDirStat <a href='http://www.download.com/WinDirStat/3000-2248_4-10614593.html'>http://www.download.com/WinDirStat/3000-2248_4-10614593.html</a> to see what is going on. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/large-space-in-add-remove-programs#post-36563 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:32:13 +0000 cctenpro 36563@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>All of a sudden I have this large gap in the add remove programs window with black rectangles in it and the green "unmovable" files in the disk defrag window are split in two, what is going on???
