Fixing Passwords Plus Entry Display Problem

I've seen a problem with Dataviz's Passwords Plus program, which is a program that you can use to store passwords, credit card numbers, bank account information, etc., where it will not display the list of entries in a category in its left-hand window pane, where it normally displays all of the entries for a selected category.

I'm not sure what triggers the problem, but it is tied to the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DataViz\PasswordsPlus\List View Info. You can alter that registry key manually using regedit or you can use this Passwords Plus Registry Fix file. To use the file, make sure Passwords Plus is not open. Then open the file from the website or download it and double-click on it to open it. When prompted as to adding the information in it to the registry, click on "Yes". You should then see a message indicating the information in it has been added to the registry. You can open the file with Notepad, since it is a text file, if you want to see what is in it. Once the registry change has been made, you can reopen Passwords Plus; hopefully, you will then no longer have the problem.

You could also manually alter the contents of the registry key yourself, if you are comfortable with editing the registry. But be forewarned, if you aren't experienced in editing registry settings, you may create a bigger problem than you had prior to editing the registry, if you aren't careful. You can always export the section of the registry you are going to change, though, and reimport it with regedit to put the section back to its previous state. I fixed the problem by replacing 54 6a d0 77 54 6a d0 77 with c3 00 00 00 5f 00 00 00. I used the latter value because I suspected the problem was in the "List View Info" registry key and so I copied the value for that field from a system that didn't have the display problem for entries in a category. Note: if you see additional zeroes in the field after the 8 bytes, delete them, which you can do using the delete and backspace key while editing the registry value. The value should be exactly 8 bytes long, i.e. c3 00 00 00 5f 00 00 00.

When the entries are displaying properly, you should see entries as in the image below.

I've used this technique with version 1.006 (71) of Passwords Plus to correct the problem.
