Control Panel

[Guest]

Hi

Everytime I go on to my Control Panel and click the icons like "Display" or
"Internet Connections" or anything like that ... the control panel freezes
and says "Not Responding." Then I have to close it ... everything else works
fine. What is wrong? Can anyone help?

Thanks

I have the exact same problem. Been having it for a long time and can't
seem to find a fix. Even had it in the shop. Nothing works. I avoid using
the control panel as much as I can. I have a very clean pc, with over 85%
free space.. If you ever get an answer that is not posted here, please let
me know... Remove nospam from my addy..

Solution in 98/ME was to restore the cpl files from the install CD. Suspect
same is true here as well.
