I have vista home edition 32 bits. My control panel doesn't open. A screen opens then closes. I also can't get to the properties from right clicking my computer. I can't update windows.

Everytime I try to open up the control pane, Vista tells me that Windows Explorer has stopped working, then restarts it.
I'm using Business Ultimate 64bit. I've run sfc /scannow several times.
I have a custom built PC,
Giga-Byte EP35-DS4 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad at 2.4Ghz, Kentsfield model
2GB Ram, Crucial Ballistix DDR2
eVGA GeForce 8800 GT
Seagate 500GB HD
Samsung DVD Burner
Encore Wireless card
That's about it. Default BIOS setup.I tried running 'msconfig' and disabling all Non-Microsoft Services and all Startup items.
Interestingly enough, when I boot into Safe Mode I can access the Control Panel just fine. I don't know what that means.. I'm new to this, I'm a Mac user by default.

Has anyone else experienced problems with Control Panel? Each time I click on Control Panel, I get an error and Windows tells me that Explorer has to restart (and it does).

when I right Clicked a short cut, file or folder within Windows Explorer. It caused Windows Explorer to Hang/Not responding. Then Idecided to do an update to the Vista, so I ran the Upda5te option. My problem of right clicking appeared again? I went back into Safe Mode to find and re-do the System Restor from Sept 24th and it no longer exist? the select older than 5 days was grayed out.
I did not delete or do anything (that I'm aware of) to remove it. It was the last one on the list. Was it deleted automatically due to storage size allowed? In any case, is there a way to get it back? I need to fix this problem - of right clicking something and having Windows Explorer hang/not repond. Do I have to do a Vista Repair from my DVDs to get rid of the problem?

Ive been running my Vista hiccup free for about a year when all of the sudden a bunch of errors started appearing. In order to get to my login screen after boot took 45 minutes for some reason and was a pain I dealt with. Now I have a bigger problem
-The control panel did not work and whenever vista loaded a ton of errors arose.
-This came from windows services not being able to start and this therefore did not allow windows to check if it was genuine.
-After a week, windows went into limited mode where I only have a blackscreen and access to the internet, nothing else. Microsoft support gave me no help and the problem cannot be fixed without re-installing Vista. No problem i thought.
-Popped in the original vista dvd and changed the bios to boot from CD. This is where the problem lies.
-When I do this, it does nothing with the dvd, I wait 45 minutes until my login screen appears and I am back into limited mode. I want to re-install vista but cannot boot from cd/ dvd.

Whenever I try to open up a window through the Start menu or from a desktop icon or Launchy to view a folder like 'My Documents' or 'Computer', or even 'Control Panel', the window opens for about two seconds before closing. And then the whole screen goes blank but for the desktop background and slowly reappears. What's the story, there? How do I remedy this? I want to be able to peruse my folders! I want to be able to adjust my screen's resolution! Why won't the windows stay open for me?

I didn't see this topic listed already. I've researched on the Net and have not been able to find a solution. Since Thurs., apparently for no reason that I can find, I have lost access to the Control Panel and all associated prorgams. I have no Windows Welcome Centre, no access to the Backup/Restore. And when I go to Microsoft to validate my program it's says I'm not running a valid version of Windows.
I've tried several different things to correct the problem ... To begin with I did the obvious -- I have checked for viruses and malware. Not the problem. I ran a scan/repair, I did a defrag. Nothing. One site said it was a problem with Software Licensing so, as it suggested, I turned off the SLUNotify Service and the Software Licensing service and then restarted both services. Nothing happened. Both are set to automatic.
Another site said it was a problem with the Nero In CD ... but I don't have anything by that name on my PC, so I know that isn't my problem. Another site said it was a problem for PCs that didn't do the Service Pack 1 update -- Well, I have that so that's not the problem either. I tried going to a restore point a couple weeks before the problem started -- did nothing to solve the problem. It was suggested I hadn't gone back far enough so I went back to the first date listed under the restore points available on my PC. Again, did nothing.
At this point, my PC keeps trying to install the Windows Updates from after my restore point -- no troubles downloading them, but when it tries to install them it gets stuck on the configuring and says it is reverting ...I'm out of ideas ... Anybody out there have anything I can try short of re-installing Windows Vista? Obviously since this problem was so sudden, I don't have my most recent files backed up and can't access the program to make a backup -- and some of these are work files I need to keep. Meanwhile I will continue researching ..

I found a tutorial that almost does what I want:
Windows Explorer Default Opening
but it doesn't include the option I am looking for.
When I start Windows Explorer I want the folder pane to look like this:

S.O. Vista Home Premium SP2 Problem: opening folders. For some time it is impossible to open the folder double click, crashes with error message: Windows Explorer has stopped working .... I can only open them with right-click Explorer, while right click Open gives me the same problem. I tried, in vain, downloading ShellExView and disabling all non-Microsoft items.

I'm still a bit of a n00b here... but, I've found resolution to an age-old problem! In Internet Explorer, sometimes Vista (and Vista x64, of course) users experience downloads hanging at 99%, or, the green progress bar in the dialogue box freezes at 99%. It can take 2 hours to an entire day for it to finish, or maybe not at all! I've experienced this several times through several reformats. in my case, it was because of installing Layered Service Provider (LSP)-related sofware which corrupted my browser for some reason. I only know that as soon as that went active on my PC, that's when the browser failed. Either way, here's how to solve it! It's "Temporary Internet Files"-related!
1.) Even-if you have hidden folders & files-view set to YES, you still can't access the right folder.
2.) From Control Panel --- Internet Options, do the following:
3.) On Browser History, you'll see a DELETE & SETTINGS tab. Click SETTINGS.
4.) You'll now see "MOVE FOLDER," "VIEW OBJECTS," and "VIEW FILES." Click "View Files."
5.) Typically, in Vista (also x64, it doesn't matter,) you'll see a PREVIEW PANE on the left-hand side of Windows Explorer! That should show the tree of folders leading to "Temporary Internet Files." ......

Just installed Vista RC1 yesterday on my Packard Bell R0900 Notebook. Everything went well with the install, until it came to the performance test... I let it run for 1,5 hours and nothing seemed to happen (screen went black in the beginning, but that was all). So I decided to not let him do the test (after a hard reboot). And all looked fine, except for:
- Opening windows give a big lag (like control panel). It takes about 5 sec to load one window!
- Same for the start menu...
- On fading when for example vista asks whether you will allow something to run, makes it lag alot too... (Same when shutting down or logging of (the fade takes like 20 secs).
- When typing something, it takes like 3 secs to show the first letters...

I cant open the control panel on my system either fron the desktop shortcut or the start menu. I did think it may be a driver issue after i upgraded my 8800gtxoc2 to the latest nvidia driver. I decided to do a system restore to just before i did the instalation, but after 6 attempts on several restore points they have all failed. I have strated my comp up in safe mode and removed the driver but the problem is still there. i have restarted the software licence but i am stuck now and need some advice before i bite the bullet and reformat. Using the origional vista disk is there a way of doing a re-instal without losing my data.

I did a clean install. (RC1 - Build 5600) At first, everything was working great, then the next day I have nothing in Control Panel. From the Start Menu it says (empty) after attempting to load it for 20-ish seconds. If I click the desktop shortcut, it will load the window frame with no content, then just close after 5 seconds. In Windows Explorer I can expand the Control Panel from the sidebar, and pick from there, but just selecting Control Panel, again doesn't work. I remember this being corrupted .cpl files back in the 3.x days, same thing maybe? I ran System File Checker, didn't fix it (did find corrupted files though, oi vey).

I have a question why does my control panel icon move from where I place it when Vista starts up also the Icons inside the control panel a HUGE! they have tiny lettering under them but man Stevie Wonder could see these! I mean I might have six Icons showing. I can move the control panel to the top and go into IE8 and boom bottom left hand corner which is where it always goes to. Any thoughts? I would be happy to leave it there but the icons inside now that's another thing. TIA for considerations.........

I was removing some programs form ym computer earlier and It asked me to reboot my computer once I removed BlueSoleil, So I did, When my computer loaded back up the Login Background was black and all I could see was the name and password field, So I decided to go on and as I'm currently learning BATCH program I decided to go and do some to only find that the Icons were missing, It just shown an "Invalid Icon" icon, I thought that couldn't be right and decided to SR (System Restore) But as I went onto the Control Panel nothing was showing up, No icons. No words. Nothing. I did WindowKey+F and searched for System Restore and found it bt as I tried to open it, It would give me an error due to the "Run As Administrator" compatability isn't working properly.

for about 5 months now i have been trying to open control panel. i found a way to get into add or remove programs through computer then click the arrow into other things but we recently got wireless internet and i need to get into network connections or whatever it is which is in control panel. i tried to get it through the long way but it wont open.
This is what the error is:
I go start, control panel. it loads about half of the icons then a dialogue box pops up saying windows explorer has stopped working, looking for a solution etc etc.
Then it restarts windows explorer.
and i still cant access control panel. even though i can access all of the stuff except network connections (which i really need to get wireless) i still want to be able to go into and click control panel and for it to work.

Hey everyone. How ya been.
Basically here's my problem. I'm trying to open the Nvidia Control Panel, and it crashes and gives me the option to check for solutions online.. and Nothing seems to get the Control Panel to open.
Yes, I've done a Re Install of Drivers, I've updated and tried the 180.43, 44, 48 and then just did the 181.20's. Still doesn't work. I was then told that the 185 extreme G drivers helped someone with same problem. So I just barely installed those, with NO luck. It's still crashing. Basically I just got my new GTX 260 today and I now can run SLI, but I can't get the darn control panel open to enable SLI... I'm going crazy here.
I googled the problem, and someone suggested I delete the nvapps.xml folder in the actual driver file location and then reinstall. I tried that as well.
If ANYONE has any idea's on how to fix this I'm very open to suggestions. I've just installed NV system Tools, but if it's anything like nTune I don't want it near my system. lol.
Please help me out. I wanna see these babies in action.
Thanks!

All of a sudden I'm having a problem with Control Panel. When I try to launch it, I see the outline of a window appear for a split second, and then it disappears, and nothing happens. Did a google search and apparently a lot of people are seeing this
problem, and have been seeing this problem since the alpha version of Vista. I've got SP1 installed, so apparently Microsoft still hasn't fixed the problem. How pathetic.
