Control Panel stopped working
Hello, I recently did a fresh install of Win7 32bit on two computers (Dell Optiplex 330, 360) in my office. The installation went fine but I noticed that both computers have errors in the control panel.
On one, if I open the control panel from the start menu (CP homepage) it opens for a second, then closes and I get a 'Windows Explorer has stopped working' error -> it asks to look for online solutions and finds nothing. However, this only happens to the main Control Panel page, if I open a section of the Control Panel like the 'Adjust Screen Resolution' via search bar, it opens fine.
On the other, control panel works fine, but when I open the 'Backup and Restore' section, I get a blank menu screen. It has the title 'Backup and Restore' but there are no buttons or options.
Is there a way to re-install control panel? Or other ways to fix this problem, I don't plan on re-formating.
