Control Panel Problems

[PaulD]

I have recently Ghosted a Windows XP setup to another partition.
Everything is fine apart from the User Accounts applet in the Control
Panel. When I click on this I get standard Microsoft error message
"Application host has encountered a problem and needs to close..."
with the option of sending error report etc. If you click on the data
error report it makes mention of mshta.exe and mshtml.dll.

The original setup had 3 accounts 1 admin and 2 limited accounts, and
if I boot into this setup then the User Accounts applet works fine;
only when I boot into the ghosted copy does the problem occur. All
the accounts work fine other than this.

I can access the user account details using the userpasswords2
control, so changing the permissions is not a problem. I am just
curious as to why it works on the original installation but not the
ghosted one.

Using Windows XP professional with SP1 installed and all recent
updates.

Thanks

PaulD

In the case of mshtml.dll you can try reregistering it. Go>start\run and type
in regsvr32 mshtml.dll and see if it's even in the system. Sounds like an
incomplete backup that only backed up the admin account and no others. {]:~)
