Vista - Manage Accounts is not showing my users

Manage Accounts is not showing my users

So here is my problem, and it more of an annoyance than a show stopper.
Logged in as an admin UAC off, running Vista Business

Open the control panel and Click on user accounts. Click on Add or remove
user accounts. And this is where it should show my users correct? I
remember it working at one point but now I get the title "Choose the account
you would like to change", and then a white box with nothing in it. Below
the box is a link "create a new account" and then some more stuff.

How do I get my users back into this screen.

I know I can work around this problem by RIGHT-CLICKING on "Computer" and
selecting manage, and then clicking on "Local Users and Groups", then
"Users". And I can manage my users from here. In fact I like this for finer
control, but the problem still remains and I want to get it working again.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Manage Accounts is not showing my users

Hi,

I saw this on vista versions, but it has started to happen to me today. Did
it happen to you recently also. Could it be due to any recent updates. I
hope others can help.

Re: Manage Accounts is not showing my users

The problem started about 10 days ago when I was playing with Remote Desktop
and UltraVNC. Both of which had been working fine.

Re: Manage Accounts is not showing my users

One other thing I thought of. The day the "Manage Accounts" stopped working
my Aero Glass stopped working. Since then I have gotten Aero Glass to work
again.

Can someone please help me with this issue as well.

My problem is much worse as I am using Vista Home Premium which does
not allow you to use the Local Users and Groups snap-in.
This problem may have started after installing VMWare for a work
application.

Please help!!!!
