      To Fed:  Thank you the fix was to get rid of E A Updater and the add/remove gets displayed properly.   Now i will have to see if that was causeing a problem with new install of vidio card. One can hope it would be that easy!!

      thanks again for your help.

        It seems it's a common problem with program uninstallers failing to remove the actual entry.
        If you Goggle for +"add remove programs" +black you will see what I mean.
        How did you remove the entry, with ccleaner tools or a registry edit?

          I would have never thought of doing a search such as that ,very interesting stuff.
           Yes i did use the remove entry  in CCleaner

            Forgot to mention i was able to install new 7600gs just fine after all that drama, sure am glad i am skeptical of what store techs say, they wanted me to wipe the HD and do a clean install of OP sys.
             
            Thanks again   time for Farcry addon levels and mods

              Have you seen the addon level with the swimming sharks? :o
              The best Farcry patch is the nocd patch ;)
              I'm on my second run through it, stuck in that Volcano level :-[

                Do not recall if i have, got a level or mod name for it?  I have been through something similar as far as a very vilant and diligent mutants around a valcano, you have to drive over a messed up bridge before the action heats up?
                I do not have a nocd patch does that mean i do not need to put cd in all the time?

                  I'll put up a list of the addon levels I've played or looked at later, it has to be one of those.

                  That's where I'm at, over the bridge, up the hill, jump the lava river and carry on up the next hill on foot.
                  Those big dudes sure are tough.

                  I use the nocd patch to avoid using the disk, I don't consider it piracy because I have the original.
                  (It's just a replacement exe file)

                    I remember the spot but not the level name, took me some time to get through it.
                    I like the idea of nocd ,saves time and wear&tear on system.
                    Here is my list if  it will send.

                      One more thing, i need to make a retraction.
                      Yes useing CCleaner solved the add/remove display problem
                      BUT
                      the drivers and card issue was in the registry under
                      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
                      SYSTEM
                      CurrentControlSet
                      Enum
                      PCI
                      need to right click and check full control in order to install properly.
