Control Panel cause Explorer to stop working

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. Any help would be appreciated... 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.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Do you have in system32 a file named: Firebird2Control.cpl ?
If yes, remove it from system 32 and it should work.

I don't have that file anywhere on my computer, I did a search for it and came up with nothing.

Here's the log file for the crash:

Hey Jared,

What programs and drivers have you installed since the re-install? Its clear some 3rd party application is causing the control panel to crash when It trys to load them..

Not a lot, I just installed Vista yesterday. I didin't do a full reinstall today, I did a repair/upgrade install.

I have Putty, Steam, dbDesigner4, Firefox, Thunderbird, nVidia GeForce drivers, Realtek audio drivers, my Giga-Byte chipset drivers, encore wireless drivers, iTunes and Quicktime. That's about it....

I've tried running msconfig and disabling everything, but that didn't work.

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.

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:o

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