    Control Panel SysWow Error


    Hey guys.. Im running the most up to date patched beta version of 64-bit Win7. Recently when I tried to access my control panel, it gives me a Runtime error

    "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\DllHost.exe"

    And then the Control Panel displays as totally blank. How would I go about addressing this?

    Thanks in advance

    Not sure if this helps but I have a copy of that file if you want to try and replace it.

    Mr. Grim, many thanks, that worked like a charm once I got around the damned ownership issues... I cant believe its so anal about not letting you move and replace files..!

    If anyone else has issues with the workarounds you have to go through to get these issues fixed, you might find this little utility tremendously helpful...
