Add/Remove Programs no longers works after SP4

Hi,

After applying Windows 2000 SP4 on our SBS 2000 server, a
lot of stuff in the Admin Console and Personal Console is
slow (ie. click on a computer or user and takes 30
seconds for properies to come up)...

BUT, more importantly, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs
Tool Applet doesn't work. I click on it and it does
nothing.

I have 3 other normal Windows 2000 Servers they all work
fine with SP4 applied, but it is the SBS server that is
not working. Have search newsgroups and microsoft site
to no avail.

Please help.

Hi Warren,

This is possibly resolved with repairing IE. What version of IE. Perhaps run
wu and see what's available for updates. Generally, after sp4 there are only
about 5 wu reported critical updates (that should be installed), but that
may differ if your IE is older.
