When I try to access user accounts, I can't. I am able to go to Control Panel, but I cannot click on the User Accounts button. I have also tried clicking the icon at the top of the start bar, but I cannot open the page. If I click on something else, like Appearance and Themes in Control Panel, that opens, but User Accounts will not. What can I do?
I can open the services.msc, but after that I don't know what to do. I looked for familiar words, but nothing looked like it could be related to control panel or user accounts. The control passwords2 just closes the box again.
When I try it (assuming you mean to type it the way you wrote), and click OK, it just shuts the box down. I've tried browsing for something, but I dont really know where to look.
Don't worry about services(.msc). I was just seeing what would run. It appears as if the problem is limited to user accounts only. That said, try these things in order til you get success.
from Start|Run, enter this command:
nusrmgr.cpl
If that flashes too go that file (find it in System32 folder), right-click on it and choose "Open with Control Panel"
If Users Account doesn't open still, right-click the nusrmgr.cpl file again, select "Rename" and call the file nusrmgr.cpl.old
Restart computer (this may not be necessary) and attempt to access UAccounts via the control panel. If no go, run an updated virus scan and post back. Talk to you tomorrow.
