hmmm you shouldn't really have any problems with accessing this.... unless your not an administrator!?
try right clicking and running as an administrator and see if that helps other than that i cant realy help with this one... however im sure brink, dmex or someone ells may be able to help you later on however a little patiance will be required as they could be at work
remember this site is run by people in there spare time as are most other sites!

@ripbox
yes my account is an administrator all the accounts on this computer are
and i have already tried running as admin and it does what it always does, the UAC prompt comes up and the i can see the mouse loading thingy, and then nothing :(

@ acadamis2000

once again thank you for your time.
and i tried your suggestion but just the same as above i get the UAC and then nothing. :(

ill just wait a bit and see if anyone else has any ideas. :)

BTW does anyone think that a virus might have done anything because we did have a virus a few days ago but that is now gone.

thanks again for everyones help!!!

Hello Braydon, welcome to Vista forums!

What firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware are you using?

hehe what's the betting it was Norton.... its gotta be..... Norton seems to be a virus magnet more than anti virus:p

well if it is my recommendation is to completely un-install Norton and start again with the likes of.... avast anti virus and comodo firewall
they are both free

Hi,
Click Start, Run and type: regsvr32 msxml3.dll

EDIT:
Well, i saw in another post that you have shutdown problems, then run the command prompt as administrator and type:
sfc /scannow
Once finished, type in:
findstr /C:"[SR] Cannot repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt
Open the sfcdetails.txt (in system32 folder) and have a look which files cannot be repared (if any)

Hmmm, if your user account has admin privileges, it is weird.
Disable UAC and try to run your computer management console, if does not work, register the dll while uac is disabled.
Re-activate UAC and try to open the console again.

Maybe to be sure that there is no malware involved in your problems, you could install that little prog: http://download.hijackthis.eu/HJTInstall.exe
Run it and attach here the log file.

Hello again Braydon.

After you do as sidney1st suggests you may want to consider changing your
anti-virus to this ...

FREE avast! antivirus 4.x Home Edition, anti-spyware & anti-rootkit for Windows

your firewall to this ...

Free Firewall Protection Software Best Firewall Computer Security Free Personal Firewall

And use this as an anti-spyware program.

The home of Spybot-S&D!

These are all FREE programs and some of the best offered anywhere, free or not!

You may want to have a look at this also ...

Hey thanks again for your replies
@sidney1st
yea i can agree it is quite weird and i will do wot u said and get a Hicakthis! log for you
And how do i disable UAc lol sry i 4got?
and wot u mean register the dll?
@Bare Foot Kid
I could sorta agree wit changing da virus scanner and stuff but we really dont want to cause we are paying for da current one but meh we might think about it.

@sidney1st
i did wot u said with that scan and it said there were errors that it couldn't fix so i went to that file you said to go to and it wasnt a txt file instead it was a "file" file so i made it a txt file and it was empty. any suggestions?
