Hello

Check this box - ask and apply the hotfix.

Windows Explorer crashes and then restarts when you access an element of third party on board
a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

----------------------------------------------------

If necessary:

Vista references apply to Windows 7.

What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on your machine? Include everything that you never
a includes those that you uninstalled. (These can leave leftovers that can cause strange problems.)

A search for all most .cpl files will be in "C:\Windows\System32" However, you can have others.
Click on each of them at a time and see if we won't start – if so right-click on it and rename it using
cpZ as extension of the sort that we are to find. Retry Control Panel - if no joy persevering of all .cpl files.
(Note that other people find other subfolders under C:\Windows shouldn't be judged because they are not
Active).

Some of them are appwiz.cpl firewall.cpl, desk.cpl, powercfg.cpl, inetcpl.cpl, timedate.cpl and
others.

Try these in case the General corruption has a role to play:

Start - type this in the search box-> find COMMAND at the top and RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

Enter this at the command prompt - sfc/scannow

  • Error message cannot open Control Panel after installing the bsaving, missing rundll32.exe application.

    Original title: If I reinstall Windows XP is that what he's going to recover my rundll32.exe file?  It cannot be found anywhere. Thank you.

    This has happened after I acquired a discount to purchasing application called «bsaving» Now I can't access control panel to uninstall the software.

    Hello

    (1) what exactly happens when you try to open Control Panel?
    (2) what is the accurate and complete error message?
    (3) don't you make changes on the computer before the show?

    This problem occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This problem can also be caused by a virus.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

    Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/812340

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists you can scan your computer anti-virus using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Microsoft safety scanner will help us to get rid of software viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Warning: If you run the antivirus program that is infected by the virus scan will get deleted. Therefore, reinstall the program. Also, if files and folders are affected by the virus, while they might even get deleted.

    For more information, please see the link.

  • System cleaned after the attack of virus/malware using 6 recommended tools - 90% of the system is back to normal, but most of the options in the custom of open Control Panel!

    The system was attacked by a virus/spyware. Microsoft Security Essentials has been installed after that - it found nothing after a comprehensive analysis. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has been installed, it is the largest part of it and removed. Norton 360 has found rest. SuperANTISpyware has also been installed and this has also nothing after a system scan. Then ATF Cleaner and CCleaner were used to finish with what anyone else remaining areas may be temporary.

    So right now the system is more or less fine - programs running, the internet works etc. However when I open the control panel and click on a bunch of things for example Security Center, Sound, customization etc - they open habit. You see that the cursor turns into the blue circle for a fraction of a second and then more nothing. No window opens and closes or whatever it is. Now, I assume that the pieces of the virus/spyware are still active but with all tools using the latest definitions not being not able to find anything like that, I wonder if it's just a case of something having disabled those elements and not them reactivated after cleaning. The reason why I don't think it's something malicious is also because some options such as the Windows Firewall, the Manager of devices and programs and features open and work properly. Any other malicious software would certainly avoid these access as they could help shorten.

    Please help, thanks!

  • Group administrator cannot open Control Panel, Manager of tasks or access networked readers

    Hello

    I have a little trouble getting one of our computers in the domain to cooperate.  We've added a bunch of user profiles of domain on this computer, all under the administrator group, but nobody except the local administrator can access network drives, open Control Panel and open the Task Manager.  Even our domain administrator cannot do the previously listed.  We have 3 other computers that use all the same members, and they are all very well, so I don't think that the question lies in group policy.  It's almost as if the local administrator group settings have been changed somehow?  I went into the local group policy and all settings seem correct.  I'm puzzled little at this stage.  This could be the cause of this problem?  What is a corrupt local administrator account?  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
