My machine is new and purchased. I haven't talk with my manufacturer but i am
looking foward. I formated my computer when that happened for the first time,
but now it the same, so i can't do nothing more.

Thank's for the replies!!

Don't go yet, dude!

Do you have a Dell, and if so, what model? And........ does this happen to
you EVERY time you boot up, or just sometimes?

I'm beginning to think an older MS update is nuking us. After you
reinstalled Vista, I'll bet you got all the most recent updates and
continued having this freaky problem.

Stay tuned.....

It's weird that the Clearwire person has the same problem as I do, as does
xphilip, and several others that posted similar probs opening the Control
Panel, etc. I really don't think this is a solitary issue. FYI, I think
I've worn out my memory diagnostic programs, and they all say I'm fine.
Thank you anyway.

Will do again as you say, but I doubt it's memory or other hardware. Too
many others have this situation, but I'll keep at it. Believe it or not,
after I turned ON my Google pop-up blocker AND turned on my GUI boot back to
the default setting (boot.ini tab) the problem went away, so far anyway. No
worries.

You say you reset your GUI boot to fix it...what had you changed your GUI
boot to? Where? I seem to remember a similar setting in XP from MSCONFIG but
I never changed it.

In MSCONFIG/boot.ini tab, there is a setting for allowing GUI boot.
Checking or unchecking this button allows for a nice, Vista-type boot screen
prior to the login, or it allows for the default "green bar" scroll. I had
set it to the Vista boot scenario, then went back to the default, and my
Control Panel, etc., problems "seem" to have gone away.

HOWEVER, I hardly believe this is the fix. Since my problem (and those of
others) are intermittent, it may recur. But so far, so good. maybe that
WAS the fix!!

In any case, I see that there is ANOTHER person who posted on this thread
(GoStu) with the problem. Just think of the many others out there who have
it and don't report it! Bottom line, although my problem seems to have gone
away for now, I still think it will come back to bite me. Will keep y'all
posted!

Welcome to the club!!

Regarding the GUI boot, if you see a small green bar running left to right
during the beginning of your Vista booting process, then you are OK.
However, if you see a kind of cloudy light-show screen (blue, green....)
then you are in the other mode. Check it out.

By the way, what are the symptoms of your problem, other than the Control
Panel not opening? Does it happen every day? Tell us more.

It may be bad to say, but I'm relieved that others have this problem too!
So.... how do you resolve it so you can eventually get your Control Panel,
etc., back? I normally reboot.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to write Dell and give them the link too.
They should work this ASAP. Sounds like lots of people are having this
problem, but the MS MVPs won't touch it. Grunt.
