Go Start>Run, type in:
regedit
Click OK.

In registry editor navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
In right pane, you'll see MenuShowDelay entry.
Right click on it, click Modify and change the value from existing 200 to 0 (zero).

Restart computer and try Add\Remove again.

Hey Broni - why would changing the speed of menu hovering/display effect this problem?

It works for any menu, including Add\Remove list.
I thought, maybe he doesn't wait long enough for the list to populate.

Gotcha, thanks. I am surprised this would effect the speed ADD/REMOVE populating.
