Hey guys I have a legit, verified windows vista installed (business) and I've been locked out of all system configuration pretty much. I cannot access Control Panel, Windows updates, Welcome center, personalize desktop, My Computer Properties, just none of these windows show up. I spent an hour online with Microcrap and all they could do was a system restore by remote access which I coulda done myself and it still didn't fix nothing.

Any known fixes for this since M$ is a useless corporation? and what are the odds.. my tech reps name was Rahul.... hmm.. stereotypical?

Are you getting any error messages at all?

Sidious

no error messages just nothing shows up. I read there are conflicts with nvidia ntune?

EDIT: Just after this post I thought i'll go try uninstalling ntune and see where that takes me... duh, can't access control panel :@

Do a Repair Install, or pick another system restore point. This sounds like malware. What's your AV solution?

http://thevistaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=5835 <- I'm not sure if it's against the rules to post other forums here. . but is this similar to what you have? And would the solution there work? (It too is for the business version of Vista)

You can post links to other forums as long as they are relevant to the thread and not an attempt at recruitment.

Check your SLSVC service. Make sure it is set to "auto", and hasn't been disabled. Make sure it is running in the task manager also.

Read the linked thread. Anything there sound similar to your situations ?

Dont forget to rep da spyder.

slsvc is running currently. and yes that posted forum link is same problems as my own!

Have you tried disabling it and re-enabling it? (I don't know. . lol. . I was hoping the site would fix it)

Sidious

i've tried a lot of things lol... i see posts about it all over the net so you think there'd be a solution there or M$ would have one.... but that tool i called was useless.

I think you are right, the situation is completely hopeless and everything sucks. No point in even trying anymore. No point in offering anymore suggestions either. It's over. Roll credits.
