I have Windows Live One-Care.

When I click on CONTROL PANEL, it opens briefly then closes.
When I click on M/S Update, it opens briefly then closes.
When I right-click on desktop, scroll to Personalize, it does not show up.

I need help. I have read and read all the threads. I haven't tried the
disk repair yet.
Is there a M/S fix yet. I can't tell.
Please, please help me.
Thank you-Barb Lynne

Hi Barb,

You might give this a try.

Icons are missing from Control Panel, or you cannot start Control Panel, the Welcome Center, or games in Windows Vista
