Hi Holly - Sometimes the list of programs can take a few seconds to appear - have you given it time to populate with the list? If not, how about using System Restore to go back to a date previous to when this problem started. Start, type RSTRUI.EXE in the run/search window.
Other than that, your symptom likely indicates a pretty serious problem with your windows system files - or a virus. Have you tried booting into Safe Mode to see if the list appears normally? If so, it might indicate you've got a background program or virus interfering with the appearance of the list.
