694247 2008-08-02 06:59:00 Ah, looks like the prob youre seeing (the blank control panel) can happen if youre using a Nvidia videocard.

Here's a few sites, with the same prob as yours

Here (thevistaforums.com)

And here (forums.microsoft.com)

Try this from the 2nd link (If youre using Nvidia drivers)


Here is a workaround:

1) Launch services.msc from a run command
2) Find the SLUNotify service & stop it
3) Find the Software Licensing service & stop it (it may say that ReadyBoost needs that service to run; stop it anyway)
4) Restart both services, starting with Software Licensing

SL UI notification service is already stopped as it cannot start with software licensing, software licensing still does not start

694248 2008-08-02 07:05:00 i tried disabling automatic updates, ive just reinstall graphics drivers and it still doesn't work. have started backing stuff up onto another computer, isnt looking positive:yuck:
One thing i have noticed is that booting from the bootstrap style loading screen to the login screen is taking AGES, i used to be able to restart from windows to login screen in a minute, now its taking around 30 seconds more. I think it may have something to do with software licensing service and the services that rely on it trying to start, restart, restart. 		dirtbag (6060)
694249 2008-08-02 07:06:00 Try this (forums.community.microsoft.com)

Try the following, from the above site then stop and start the previous services

All you have to do is to go to C:\windows\, right click system32 folder and clear the read only check box. It will work.

It sounds like it cant write to this folder (and the files in it) to probably start the service. Which is probably why it cant find the file.

Looks like i may have found the root of the problem. I can't get permissions for system32 folder, it denies me regardless of what I try do. administrators have blank permissions. cannot untick the readonly, it just denies me access to all the files 		dirtbag (6060)
694251 2008-08-02 07:43:00 It looks like the whole folder maybe protected (against you altering it)

This is by design

Try right mouse on the system32 folder / properties /security tab if its there (if its like XP).

Click on add (type in your username here, the name when you click on the orb). Or the name of the computer. Click on check names. OK. Tick full control (if its there), then OK.

Then try it 		Speedy Gonzales (78)
694252 2008-08-02 07:52:00 Yea, i had tried that, didn't work at all. I had to take ownership of it. I just restarted with read only off and it hasn't changed anything sadly. Still same error in starting up software licensing, and still unable to access control panel dirtbag (6060)
694253 2008-08-02 07:56:00 Did you disable UAC first?? Speedy Gonzales (78)
694254 2008-08-02 07:58:00 Yea, have had it disabled since I installed dirtbag (6060)
694255 2008-08-02 07:59:00 Another site says right mouse on windows explorer and choose run as admin, you tried this? Speedy Gonzales (78)
