    Has anyone come across a fix for this.?
    Using Vista when I try to uninstall a programme in CP/ uninstall a programme the uninstall/change button does not appear with the exception of a few programmes. All the programmes where its not available show blank in the publisher column.
    The same happens if I try to use a 3rd party uninstaller like Revo etc.
    Only those on the list showing publisher details show up.

    Thanks for your help MP22..
    Nothing of use in the knowledge base.
    In safe mode the problem still exists.
    System restore fails to all points before problem arose.
    Incidently any programmes installed after 22/04/09 are fine.
    There is some speculation around the net that an updatde prior to then is responsible.
    Anyone else having this problem?
