| | Control Panel Problem Every time I try to open my control panel, it seems to open for a second and then closes immediately. I can access all of the files within the panel by "exploring" the folder through the sidebar in, say, My Computer, but I simply cannot open the Panel itself. |

| | Re: Control Panel Problem Alot of people are having the same problem. I have been working on this since 9-2007. Everyone will tell you to go to the hotfix #(936686) - Describes a problem in which you may be unable to open components such as games, Control Panel, or the Welcome Center. Or, Control Panel icons do not appear as expected. The above is only if you have a problem with NERO inCD. Which most of us do not. Other people will tell you to turn on this and turn off that. Well it doesn't work either. It may...temporarily. Here's where I'm at...at this point, because there is no help out there for this problem, I found a way to get into the control panel (so you can use it) but still does not FIX our problem: Click on "My Computer" and see CONTROL PANEL??? This one will come up for you! Hope I've helped somewhat. BarbLynne |

| | RE: Control Panel Problem I have the same problem. I built a computer myself, bought visat home premium. Was working fine for a while, not I have control panel issues as you discussed. I just downloaded a hot fix from MS that seems to address this issue. I'm not sure if it will work permanently, since my CP problem comes and goes for no apparent reason (apparent to me, anyway). -- Mark S "spastickiddo" wrote: Quote: > > > "amos" wrote: > Quote: > > > > > > "I.
