    While trying to open Control Panel with Windows XP Professional, I get this error and the Control Panel does not correctly or at all.

    None of your Control Panel options don't work or is a certain (s)?

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Now make some clarifications:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

  • Cannot open the control panel and workstation - "Windows Explorer has stopped working"

    Original title - I can't open my computer or control panel.

    I try to open my computer or control panel so I can uninstall something I think that may have caused a problem. When I try to do so, a window opens saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working". I don't know what to do. I think it was some game, I installed recently which caused this.

    Restart your computer in safe mode by pressing F8 just before windows logo appears after intervention by the bios. And see if you can open my computer or control for safe mode. If you then uninstall the program/game where you doubt. also run msconfig and remove startup programs that you do not use frequently and do not trust. Also if you have recently added a toolbar or of any custom theme and then disable it. then reboot in normal mode and see if the problem persists. It will be useful.

    Good luck!

    The laptop itself is a battlefield. I have to disable the player application to Windows loading. I can't access Windows on my administrative journal to and instead go through another user, I created to manufacture and store music. Start menu opens, but most / all Windows clients will not open.

    I remember 'cleaning up' in the Panel of control for more than a year, I don't remember when the last time was that I could get into the controls. Any help on how get opened would be gladly appreciated.

    Hello

    To be honest I have never heard of these problems but theoretically, it could be a virus or something else or your Windows installation is damaged, who knows?

    Do you have an AntiVirus tool? So, I can recommend the AntiVir freeware tool. It s small and fast and I have pretty good experience with it.
    Check this box!

    The problem persists there for a few days? If so, you can try a system restore to an earlier point. :)

  • Windows Vista is running extremely slow and will not open the Task Manager or connect to the internet

    I have an older Dell running Windows Vista, and it started fine when I got it, but about a month ago it started very slow and refusing to open any program. I can't get the Task Manager to open to all and internet Explorer refuses to connect. I did a complete analysis of the system through Viper and it came out saying: there is nothing more than a few trogans. He also started a taskbar at the top of the screen. No idea how it happened either.

  • How to: using the same control panel for several vi and reproducing change to the control panel.

    I created a labview project that contains about 40 vi.  Each vi has a joint control panel which is a group of ip address, or address of the port and the parameters that are passed high-level vi at low level vi for the purpose of control and access our daq cards.  As this control panel exists in all the vi and must not be the same there is a problem when the need to make a change or update the controls during development.  The problem is how long it takes to go and change the control panel of each single vi.  I wish I had a way of reproducing a change in the Panel of control through all six simultaneously.

    All controls in the control panel are in a bundle, so all values are passed to 1 thread.

    I tried to turn the Panel in a sub vi and this way I can just "create control" and have output parameters maniuplate vi, but if I update the vi, I still have to go back and create a new control for each vi under the control has changed.

    I tried using secondary and the creation of the control panel in a sub vi which is displayed in the secondary, but gives the undesirable consequence of not being able to view or change the settings of the control panel if the program does not work, as pristine as when sub-panels program does not work.

    Is there a another way to display the front panel of a Subvi next using a panel of void?  Is there a better way to propagate changes in a bundle in a series of vi?

    Yes a def type might help you and I would take the next step to make a strict type def if you want the look to be the same on all its bodies. You can also view this nugget on Type definitions for more idea about it.

    Have fun

    Hello

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .
