Control Panel has problem

Hello again, besides my license problem. My other PC's control panel freezed the machine when I run it. ie: I double clicked the Control Panel icon on Start, it loaded part of the contents but disappeared suddenly, and all windows I opened or applications in the Taskbar is gone also. Is there a way to fix it? I checked for virus and spyware, but none is found.

Thanks.

Any error messages? If so then look here.
If not, try playing around with this.

They both may not be XP but they could lead you in the right direction.

Just wanna make a follow-up with this problem. I followed the link and I deleted all cpl files in the folder. Next, I run Control Panel and everything works!!!!

Glad to hear you fixed it! So you deleted everything but the CP still opens normally and still has everything in it? Seems like deleting everything would make it not work.
