Windows XP Pro Control Panel not responding

[Guest]

Hi,

I get a Control Panel "not responding" after opening the control panel and
clicking on one of the icons to bring up the next window of icons to select.
It also happens if I try to get in from Windows Explorer.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should try?

Thanks,
Ace

Hi,

Run the edit on line 157:

If that doesn't help, start with this combo, then repost:

Run Ad-Aware, Spybot and HijackThis:

Note: Update each program, once installed, before running.

Note2: To avoid the False-Flag for the DSO Exploit (W3), open
Spybot/Advanced Mode/Settings/Ignore Products. On the All Products Tab,
scrol to DSO Exploit and check that item only. Randy (silj)

I tried what you suggested but I still have the same problem. I'm already
running Webroot Spy Sweeper. Any other suggestions? My Windows XP is up to
date with latest updates installed.
