| | Control Panel Goes Missing My Control Panel on Vista Home Premium has gone missing together with the Windows Update. Just a brief flash of an opening and closing window. I've had a search around on Google on this subject and found only one solution which, sadly, lasts until the next reboot. This is to.... ) Launch services.msc from a run command 2) Find the SLU Notify service & stop it 3) Find the Software Licensing service & stop it (it may say that ReadyBoost needs that service to run; stop it anyway) 4) Restart both services, starting with Software Licensing Does anyone have a more permanent fix? This is a Dell XPS 420 |

I indeed found the Microsoft Fix suggested by MICHAEL but thought it referred to a problem with Nero as in "error message during Windows Vista startup if the Nero InCD program is installed and if the "Special pool" feature is enabled in the Driver Verifier utility: "Stop 00000050"" I will try the fix. |
