Control Panel Does Not Respond

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

If XP Pro, there are settings in Group Policy for Control Panel.

Have a look at all of them.

Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | OK |
Navigate to >>>
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\
Prohibit access to the Control Panel
[[Disables all Control Panel programs.]]
-----

Also check TweakUI if you have it.

TweakUI | Control Panel

Also scan for viruses and scumware.
