Re: Vista not wotking with "My Computer" or "Control Panel", "Screen Saver"

Did you try restarting your computer?

Did you have a look at this link;
[url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936686/en-us[/url]

That link will then lead you here;
[url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929637/[/url]

Then, to get the hotfix, you'll go here;
[url]https://support.microsoft.com/contactus2/emailcontact.aspx?scid=sw;[/url][LN];1414&from=KBHotfix&WS=hotfix

Where it says "Product and version affected"
Put in "KB929637"

They will send you an email with download instructions.
