Control Panel cause Explorer to stop working

This might be of help, this is the log from sfc /scannow This file is always corrupted, and it says it repairs it, but it never really does.

2008-05-15 23:32:46, Info CSI 00000276 [SR] Repairing corrupted file [ml:520{260},l:52{26}]"\??\C:\Windows\ehome\en-US"\[l:30{15}]"ehdebug.dll.mui" from store

Can you list all the .CPL files located in your "C:\Windows\System32\" Folder? (without using the search features as they might miss one or two)

Humm, it's a mui media center file.
I attach here this file so you can replace it (rename the other one).
Then redo a sfc /scannnow to check.
Don't worry if the date of the file is may/10, but i had a wu that day concerning the en-US MUI.

Try running explorer without any addons, there is an option hidden away in the start menu.

When following the instructions from Some Windows Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop responding, I'm getting a permissions error, even though I did takeown /f with it

Itunes is not compatable with vista
Try uninstalling that and see if it works

Are you sure about that?

iTunes and Windows Vista
Apple's iTunes 7.6 plays nice with 64-bit Vista - Engadget

I have iTunes 7.6.2.9, so I should be in the clear.

Nice fast reply, Itunes has caused problems with vista in the past. It may have been fixed now but I was not aware of this. There are so many programs and companies developing software, it is hard to keep track of it all

Post your system spec in your sig, this way some users may have seen this problem with your specific system before.

Hi jaredonline,
Do you have any problem when you open the security center?
