Since update in CCleaner 4.07 and recently 4.08 I can not populate the Add /remove programs in the control Panel. My OS iWindows XP sp3. I could go and unistall programs using CCleaner features and it apears my OS accepts new and improves updates regardless the above condition. CCleaner is very valuable to me to keep my desktop from excessive baggage
Would certainly apprecite any support on this regard

Try a clean reinstall.
CCleaner 4.08, Win7 x64
Does Add/Remove Programs have very large areas of black or white? If so it's a known issue in XP. Microsoft has a "Fix-it" for the large white areas, but it won't help with the large black areas.
