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.

Dana Cline - MCE MVP


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!

I am havuing exactly same problem. Afraid I don't know a GUI boot means.
Need
some step by step.


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.

notice it) and then it disapears. i have tried my norton to c if it is a
virus, it came up with 98 tracking cookies, 2 of something called a
backyard bug, and a fully loaded trojan. after i took care of these it
still did not work. so i tried system restore, this has helped me fix
dozens of others problems with my computer b4, and it wont pop up
eaither. it says its turned off and the only way to turn it back on is
to go into personalization. i also deleted my recycle bin and
that had a bunch of important things in it. to get my recycle bin back i
