| | Control Panel, Windows Update Fail sometimes... Using Vista Ultimate. I assembled.When I try to open control panel from the start menu, a window flashes very briefly then disappears. Control Panel never opens. Also, Windows Update from the Start menu will not open (IE doens't open on that click). IE works from its own icon however. Windows Update will not open from tools, update, either. Control panel will not open from start, run control. HOWEVER, after I shut down tonight. Tomorrow, it may work. It seems to come and go. I just restarted, and it still is not working tonight. Any ideas? -- Mark S |
