If you are a Windows Vista user and you can't access Control Panel or Welcome Center or can't start Games, then this tutorial will help you.

Many times Windows Vista users face a very strange problem. Whenever they open Control Panel, Welcome Center or start games. A "Windows Explorer" window pops up and disappears. You have no idea why is this weird thing happening?

Don't worry. If you are one of them who are facing this problem then follow these simple steps:

1. Open Service Manager by giving "services.msc" command in RUN or Startmenu Search box.

2. In right-side pane, look for a service "Software Licensing". Double-click on it and make sure its Startup type is set to "Automatic". If its not, then change it to "Automatic" and click on "Start" button to start the service.

3. If its already set to "Automatic", then stop the service and again start it.

4. Thats it. It should solve the problem and you should be able to access Control Panel.

^^ Do this:

At login screen, click on "Options" key in the on-screen keyboard. It should present at bottom-right side near "Help" key.

If you don't see Options key, then login and then go to "Control Panel -> Easy of Access Center". Click on "Start on-screen keyboard" and then click on "Options" key.

Now in "Options" window, click on the bottom link "Control whether on-screen keyboard starts when I log on".

Here uncheck the first option and apply it.
