I am running Vista Ultimate on one machine and Vista Home Premium on another
machine. Something has happened to the Control Panel on the Ultimate
machine. When I bring up the Control Panel window in the "Control Panel
Home" view the icon on the desktop is the correct icon (looks like a little
panel display). However, when I select the "Classic View" a new window
opens and the icon changes to a blank page with the upper right hand corner
folded over. If I close the "Classic View" window first and then the
"Control Panel Home" window the icon returns to the good one. Also, in the
Start Menu if the "Display as Link" option (Start Button>Properties>Start
Menu>Customize>Control Panel) is selected for the Control Panel nothing
happens when I click on the Control Panel (button?) in the Start Menu. If
the "Display as Menu" option is selected for the Control Panel the list of
Control Panel stuff appears as a menu when I click on Control Panel in the
Start Menu - as it should. Neither of these problems are show stoppers but
somewhere a long the line I have done something to screw up the registry??
Can anyone give me a hint what to do, who to contact, or where to look in
the registry to attempt to fix these two (probably related) problems. This
system has been running Vista since it first came out and I dread having to
reinstall Vista and all the other stuff from scratch. I have asked for help
on this issue several times and several ways but so far have come up empty.
Help is needed.
