May 14, 2007
I just migrated from my old IBM T42 to IBM T60. Now I installed a bunch of new softwares on my T60 (the regular ones) I dont know after installing which software problem started.When I try to open power options from CP it says:An exception occured while trying to run"C:WINDOWSsystem32shell32.dll Control _RunDLL "C:WINDOWSsystem32powercfg.cpl",Power Options Rest everything works fine in CP - I have tried to replace powercfg.cpl (with a new one) as well but that didnt help.

from the desktop or from the Start menu. explorer.exe randomly consumes 100% cpu usage and has to be shut down from task manager or a reboot. Sometimes after ending the explorer.exe process, I get the "send/dont' send" error report option to Microsoft. Norton & Windows Defender found nothing, and ad-aware SE hangs.

I click on Start/My Computer/Control Panel. The screen goes momentarily to the blank background screen, then all the icons and tool bar show back up--but no control panel opens. I am running Windows XP on a Dell computer.

I have been experiencing a problem with Windows Explorer where i cannot open any folders, Control Panel, etc. When I try to do so, explorer restarts. I tried a System Restore and that fixed the problem for the moment, but it came back a couple days later. I ran a virus scan (Norton) and it didn't find anything of note.

My computer is running Windows XP Home and is Bluetooth capable. I'm reading a bunch of instructions on how to connect my phone to my laptop with Bluetooth and they all start with the instruction to go to the "Bluetooth Connections" in Control Panel. Trouble is, there IS no Bluetooth Connections when I open the control panel.Any ideas on how I might add Bluetooth Connections to my control panel, or otherwise connect my phone to laptop with Bluetooth?

I'm having a bit of a problem. As far as I know, my comouter is completely free of viruses and spyware. For about a month and half now, I've been receiving the error message "Windows cannot open user accounts control panel" every time I double-click on User Accounts in Control Panel. I've been to many sites and I'm still stumped. I think the problem lies in the file nusmrgr.cpl being damaged or defective. If anybody can't offer me some advice or point me in the direction of a download or a recommended piece of software. is (obviously) Windows XP and I've already tried System Restore and Roxio GoBack.

I am not able to log on to IE or my control panel. It just started doing this yesterday. I don't know where my Norton antivirus software went. It is also missing now. The system is very sluggish.

XP Media Centre. When I click My Documents the folder list appears but will not open any when clicked. Also cannot open My Computer. Control Panel opens and list appears but cannot open some folders such as Add/Remove Programs. Also, I.E. will not start. However programs such as Word will start OK, and will open some files.

After adding various .dll from an earlier Win2K installation (trying to correct an unrelated problem) to C:WinNTsystem32, discovered that Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel won't open. Rest of Control Panel works.
This tinkering cased another alteration: right mouse click on Start|Explore(and Explore All Users) no longer shows all drives (and their directories & sub-folders) on one screen. Now only one drive (with directories & sub-folders) is shown at a time.

Program".
Note: i keep my Norton Viruses updated and use the Microsoft Beta Spyware
program in the background.

My desktop started acting strangely so I closed down programs and did a reboot which took a lot longer than normal - and later found out that my disk was full. During all of this, Windows somehow forgot where the administrator account was and created a new one that has no access. Can't open any programs, can't open Control Panel or IE. The folders for my old Administrator account are still on a second hard drive where they've always been, but Windows created a newly named Administrator account on my C: drive. I've tried the CTL ALT DEL twice trick to log in as administrator and still have the same situation. No programs work, control panel doesn't work. All give same error message, either it can't find the path or I don't have priv to access. "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."I've fixed the full C: drive issue since I can still access Windows Explorer, but can't seem to get my old Administrator account back. I can't delete the user since I can't get into Control Panel. I've started in safe mode and still have same issue.

I have XPsp2. Why does it take Control Panel and in particular, Add/Remove Programs such a long time to open and populate its list.
It can take anywhere from 10-40 seconds to do this. My drive is 40% free.

Every thing else works fine but I just need help fixing this problem. Well this is a custom made computer so and I don't know how to open the system information.

I have searched to see if this was asked before without any success. Maybe someone has run into this problem before. When I open "my computer" or "control panel" after I close it...it automatically goes into Internet Explorer as a blank page. Most of the time, when I close the IE blank page.it stops responding and I have the control-alt-delete to "end the program"
