Vista: cannot access control panel or windows update

[Guest]

On Vista, I can no longer access my control panel, use windows update,
install IE7, or right click Computer. Any ideas what caused or solution?

Did you install Windows Live OneCare? I notice it has a tendency to go
haywire and lock up your OS. Have you tried doing a System Restore from Safe
Mode to an earlier point in time before you started experiencing this
problem?
