| Vista Ultimate x64 | Can't access "Network and Sharing Center" nor "User Accounts" The control panel opens fine. I can access all items in the control panel except "Network and sharing center" and the "User accounts" (I can't access this sections via the taskbar either). What happens when I open one of the two items is I get a popup saying the following; WINDOWS EXPLORER HAS STOPPED WORKING. I used to be able to access these items. And one day, I just coulodn't anymore... Anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks. I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | re: Can't access "Network and Sharing Center" nor "User Accounts" Hello Newbie, See if running a sfc /scannow can find and fix bad system files that may be responsible for this. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | re: Can't access "Network and Sharing Center" nor "User Accounts" If it has not been more than 90 days since the problem, you can also see if doing a System Restore using a restore point dated before this problem can fix it. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | re: Can't access "Network and Sharing Center" nor "User Accounts" OK. Instead of running an administrator console from a shortuct (that made the first path of the console be C:\Windows\system32), I've run the console from the Start Menu (that goes to C:\Users\<myUserName>). Running sfc \scannow from there worked... According to the log, the file "shigna.dll" is corrupt: Code: 2008-10-18 12:24:29, Info CSI 00000173 [SR] Cannot repair member file [l:20{10}]"shgina.dll" of Microsoft-Windows-shgina, Version = 6.0.6001.18000, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 (9), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type neutral, TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral in the store, hash mismatch

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | re: Can't access "Network and Sharing Center" nor "User Accounts" I have the Vista Ultimate with SP1, so here is a copy of that file from system in a ZIP file if you wish to replace yours with a clean copy of it. You will need to save the ZIP file and extract the shgina.dll file to your desktop first. Afterwards, you can Copy and Replace the shgina.dll file to it's default location at C:\Windows\System 32. shgina.zip < Click to Download Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | re: Can't access "Network and Sharing Center" nor "User Accounts" It worked.  YAY!! Thanks for the help. One final question: to overwrite the shigna.dll I followed the takeown \f -> GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F steps. How can I protect shigna.dll again (make it like it was before)? Thanks. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | re: Can't access "Network and Sharing Center" nor "User Accounts" Your welcome, When you took ownership of the old copy, it will not affect the new copy. The new copy should have the default owner as TrustedInstaller automatically. |
