I just found the control panel cannot be started.
Today I noticed the memory monitor showed 94% of my 1.5G memory are occupied
which I believe is not correct since I was not running many programs. But
after I restart the computer and try to open control panel, a blank explorer
window showed up and closed automatically after a while. I tried a few times,
but cannot start control panel at all. Anyone met similar issue before?
Please help.
 
Have you tried opening the Control Panel by entering "control panel" in
search box which appears when you click the start orb.
 
The video is funny. it is crap. But how can I solve the problem?
Today, the windows genuine test pop up and tell me this copy of windows is
not a genuine copy. But I already activated and pass the test a few months
ago. And the genuine test website suggest me to open control panel and remove
some programs. It seems I am in a dead end.
 
You want my real advice? Don't pay for Vista in fact return it. If you want a
real operating system without these problems you can either go to
www.PCLinuxOS.com and try to install it yourself and stop having these stupid
problems or you can go to a search engine like dogpile.com and look for
Computer Rescue. This guy knows what he is doing and he can help you with all
the problems. It's worth it.

I had the same problem as others have had as well. There is a 'hotfix'
available through the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
(http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1). In the 'for' field, type in
"Control Panel does not open" and it will take you to a list of similar
problems encountered. Find the one that matches yours and they will send you
the fix by email.

Oh OH, the monkey didn't download it correctly the first time. I unzipped it
properly this time and it loaded. DUH! A restart is necessary. Will advise
in a week.
