Hi All,

I upgraded my pc from Windows XP to Windows Vista Home Premium.

Since then I have not been able to open the Control Panel or the Windows Security Centre. I have looked in other forums, but I have not been able to find a definitive answer.

Control Panel
When I access the Control Panel I get a the message "Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working" and only gives the option to close the program.

Windows Security Alerts
I get the same message for this as the Control Panel error message.

Any help would be greatfully accepted.

Regards

Richard

Hi and welcome. When you say upgraded, what media did you use, a Vista upgrade cd?

Yes a Vista Upgrade CD

Are you logging in as administrator?

[Richardebt]

I have 4 users set up and I'm loging in as one of those that has administrator rights. Is that the same?

[AcaCandy]

Vista is more secure than XP.
