Hi... long time haven't been here...
I have one problem here. I installed Windows Vista recently (dual-booted with XP) and everything works fine for me, until I install downloaded driver from web.
My Control Panel is inaccessible now. Something in the Control Panel might be corrupted. Everytime I try to access Control Panel, Explorer.exe will freeze and Windows prompt me to restart the process. I still can access the components inside the Control Panel like Display, Networking via other ways, right clicking on the desktop, start menu. But I can't access Control Panel menu only...
Last installation I made is ATI Catalyst Driver, AC'97 Vista Sound Driver, ViA Rhine II Lan family Driver and K-Lite Codec Pack 2.85 Full...
From what I have diagnosed, I think the sound driver installation is corrupted, since I can't run the utility that came with the driver... And from my experience with XP driver, the utility (Sound Effect Manager) can be access from Control Panel.
Is there a way that I can remove that thing from Control Panel without remove the driver? I think there should be some registry tweaking to remove components in Control Panel since Brontok variation virus capable of removing Folder Options completely even from Control Panel... |

Sorry for not replying... being busy with my study and internet here is really annoying...
The problem is left unsolved for now... But, I still think that my sound driver is the problem here. However, I stopped using Vista for a while since I can't seem to get driver of ZyDas 1211 wireless chipset for Vista... Without the driver, I can't get online... lol... 
If you happen to find it somewhere, I would really love to try it...
I will post my update on the problem if I get any.
Thanks... |
