Trouble Personalizing

I right click on the desktop and click personalize.The cursor shows that the
computer is working. The screen pops up empty for 1/2 a sec. then disappears.
The cursor is still showing that its working for 3 more sec. and thats the
end of that. I can't access it through control panel either. Any ideas on
this one?

I don't have the Nvidia glitch either.

Specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium
Computer: ACPI x86-based PC (HP)
Display Adapter: Mobel Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family
Processors: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.50GHz (each)

I do have it configured so that I have Windows DreamScene set up. I'm sure
the problem occurred sometime when I fixed it this way b/c the installer
didn't work correctly and I had to manually install it myself.

If anyone has any ideas, I would be much obliged.

Hi Justin,

You might try running the "sfc /scannow" (no quotes) command to see if it will fix your problem. This tutorial will show you how.
