I am running Windows XP Pro on a laptop. The laptop has been giving me fits recently. Currrently I can get to my Control Panel, but when I try to get to Add & Remove Software, nothing happens, the system just sits there with a message telling me that it is "populating" the programs, but then nothing happens, it just sits there. Help?

I would suggest a hijack scan and then having the malware team give you a hand in checking for nasties.
Other things that could cause the problems are corrupted file, you could try running chkdsk in safe mode to be sure the HD is in good working order.
Also have you tryed going into add remove under safe mode?
