Question Installed apps not showing in Remove Programs

Can any one help me with this one? None of my installed apps show up under Settings - Remove Programs. I see nothing but a blank screen. When installing, I did select to install to my Storage Card (2GB SD), though some chose to go ahead and install to Device Storage anyhow. If this has anything to do with installing to the Storage Card, is there any known registry hacks to force them to appear under Remove Programs?

I contacted Motorola Support and got the following response:

Anything installed on the mini-SD card does not show up as that is not installed on the phone. You will need to go into explore and delete or remove them from the SD-Card.

I believe I can help you here...

It has nothing to do with installing to the SD Card.

I have posted about this on qusers.com a few days ago. See my post here:
Qusers.com - Topic :: Installed apps not showing in Remove Programs

and quick info on how to fix it is here:
So, I did some searching and this is what I came up with...

This link helped me out- PM me if you have any questions or need some assistance

Recover your 'Remove Programs' List - MoDaCo

"Perhaps most of us are aware that when our installed programs reaches 50, the phone's 'Remove Programs' list appears empty. I have no idea why the phone behaves that way. What we are going to deal with on this article is how to backup 'AppInstall' items. It is important to emphasize that what we will do is a 'backup' and not registry key/s deletion. Each item inside AppInstall holds very important informations as InstallDir and Uninstall strings. Deleting those items would result into re-installation and uninstallation problems."

Hope this helps.

You cannot remove/delete an application while it is running. Go into the task manager of your phone and see if the program you are trying to run is still running. If it is then kill the application. You should now be able to delete/remove it.

Dang it, now I can't remove any apps. I did install more than 50 but my resco was a trial and it's expired so now I'm stuck, with phone low memory.
