In the Control Panel administrative tools is empty. What can I do to restore it?

I had a virus not so long ago. all our photos and documents are missing. I can't do windows updates. all the remedies online point to a permissions problem. to verify the permissions, I went to administrative tools and it is empty.

Hi David,

1. you receive an error code or message?

2. have you made any recent hardware or exchange of software on your computer before the show?

I suggest you follow the methods and mark the question below:

Method 1:

Please, start your computer in Safe Mode with networking to see if the same problem occurs.

Startup options (including safe mode):

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

Method 2:

Scan your computer by using the Microsoft Security Scannerby clicking Download now to check if there is no virus infected:

http://www.microsoftsafetyscanner.com/

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

Method 3:

I suggest you to perform SFC (System File Checker) analyze and check if TI the problem persists. To do this, please see the following article.

The SFC/SCANNOW command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7 system files:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

Method 4:

Try to create a new user account and check with the question.

Create a user account:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/create-a-user-account

If the problem is resolved then try to fix the user profile damaged.

The difficulty of a user profile is corrupted:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

It will be useful.

    The [NONE] you're referring to means that there are has file extensions associated with things such as Audio CDs, disks and DVDs.

    A "file extension" is the 3-(4-parfois) part of a file name that comes after the period character.  For example, in "Document.doc" file extension is doc.

    Made settings were - as you noted correctly - in the AutoPlay dialog box.  These settings determine what Windows does when a removable storage device is connected.  Depending on the type of multimedia content detected on the device, you can choose from a variety of "Manipulative Autoplay" to deal with this content.

    "Take no action" is not a bad default.

    If you want to change your mind, open my computer and right-click on the icon for a CD/DVD/USB device and select the tab "Autoplay".  You can choose from a variety of types of "content" and then choose which application should open.  For more flexibility, TweakUI--> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-xp or see

    A number of things could happen here.

    Have you installed all necessary drivers after you reinstalled Windows?

    Have you installed an antivirus application before connecting to the Internet?

    Have you applied all post-sp3 Windows critical updates before you begin to surf the Internet?

    Did you uninstall the trial versions of software antivirus which have been replaced (unless your new Windows installation was a "clean install")?

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • When you try to uninstall several programs via the Control Panel, I get a message that "another installation is in progress and must be completed first". I have no other current facilities. Windows XP Home Edition

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hello dutchb,

    The error, "another installation is in progress and must be completed first" can be attributed to the InProgress key found in the registry at:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    I suggest that first make a backup of the registry or a system restore point. Then go to control panel, administrative tools, Services. Do scroll down and find the Windows Installer service, and set the start at the stop State. Delete the registry key to the location above.

    Now, you shouldn't get the installation in the progress message when you try to uninstall programs.

    I hope this helps.

  • problem with the control panel.

    I have a laptop with win7 32 bit. I installed 3 days ago and yesterday when I want to go in Panel said that Explorer Windows has stopped working. Except that everything works perfectly.
    I don't know what to do, I tried everything. I did the test of memory, I checked all the files *. Cpl, I scan the viruses and malware (I have kaspersky internet security), I put the control panel to show me that I can access the options menu, it does not work, I tried to install the patch 296 934 and he said something like that is not suitable for the operating system... I'm desperate, I don't know what to do.
    Can you help me please?

    Please excuse my English.

    IF it works in safe mode, you can use a clean boot to diagnose what is causing the problem. It won't take long to test.

    Another thing to try is to create a new user profile and connect through that to see if a new user can access control panel. You can delete the new account if it is not helping, or transfer your data to the new account if it helps.

    You might also consider trying a repair to re install - install windows 'above' of your existing system which should NOT replace your existing installation or data.

    Or, if this happened recently, you could try a system restore to a point before the error occurred.

  • Power options in the control panel are empty - can't do anything.

    Recently, I noticed that the Power Options in the control panel is empty.  I can't create something or do something there.  Could something in Services.msc have disabled this?  Nowhere part that I should look at?  I cannot stop, restart, or put it to sleep.  Also when I start the computer (once using the hardware Reset button on the computer case) he does not remember my user name.  He asks me every time.  There is no password.  I just press ENTER after entering my user name.

    So I found the magic formula to use the command run and it resets everything back to normal.  Can't find it now but if you google it you can find.  You want to reset the Power Options in the control panel.

    His time, I have contributed something here!  I'm always ask questions and rarely give all the answers.  :)

  • Missing audio device of the control panel.

    Several days ago, I opened the control panel to troubleshoot an audio device. The Control Panel showed two audio devices:

    1: ATI PNP
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_1002 & DEV_AA01 & SUBSYS_00AA0100 & REV_1001\5 & B0AB116 & 0 & 0001
    Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\atihdmi.sys (7.11.0.7703, 114,00 KB (116 736 bytes), 02/09/2010 12:34 AM)
    2: REALTEK PNP
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_10EC & DEV_0888 & SUBSYS_103C2A92 & REV_1002\4 & 19 19054 & 0 & 0001 c

    Both devices are still listed under system information/system/components tools, but:

    At some point during the configuration of the device from Realtek, ATI device disappeared from the control panel. Since then, I have found no way to adjust its properties, much less put on the control panel.

    The only other change observed: formerly the computer sounds internal (startup, error, stop, etc.) remained internal. Now, I can hear them through the external speakers - acceptable but not optimal.

    Any help would be appreciated.
