Control Panel - User Accounts

I have come accross 2 PC's from different clients that appear to be
experiencing similar problems.

One of the symtoms is very strange:
Open control Panel
Double Click on the User Accounts icon
The user accounts window displays but there is nothing in the window. All I
have is a Forward, Back & Home button at the top of the screen.

I found this very strange and Opened the GPEditor to see if anyone has been
playing in there to find a similar problem. I click on any tree item and
nothing displays in the detail window.

I created a new user through the Computer Management consol and restarted
the computer using the new user. The gpeditor and the user accounts window
experience the same problems as the Administrator account (was the primary
account)

Any help most appreciated.

Click Start, Run and type:

regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll

If this problem occurred after installing recent security updates, then try
this:

Posted earlier by Torgeir Bakken:

Download the file OLEfix.zip available here (it is a registry file
that origin from MS Support, and it has fixed the ActiveX problem
for several people, getting this problem after installing KB896688):

http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/OLEfix.zip

Extract it and double click the contained OLEfix.reg file. Click Yes
on the dialog box that asks you if you are sure to add the information
in OLEfix.reg to the registry.

You may have to reboot your machine afterwards.


-or-

Copy the following line to Notepad, and save the file as "c:\olefix.reg"
with quotes.

---------------<From next line>-----------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\CLSID]
@="{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\CLSID\InprocServer32]

---------------<Till prev line>-----------------

Right-click olefix.reg file, and choose Merge.

Then, type in Start, Run:
regsvr32 ole32
(Press Enter)

Restart Windows.
