Vista - Control Panel Not Accessible

[3NF]

I just installed vista and the last thing I updated were the creative sound drivers for my X-Fi XtremeGamer card. Now, I can't access the control panel. If I do, the window pops up briefly, and then disappears.

Any ideas?

open control panel, and uninstall creative drivers

LOL - I would, if I could open the control panel

Solution? Re-install XP

good choice...

Try winkey+r, appwiz.cpl. That should bring up add/remove programs.

seriously, look for CPL files

appwiz.cpl for example should open add/remove programs.

with some tweaking you could remove creative's control panel item and make all others work.
