From Start Menu I go to the Control Panel
as soon as I click on it the computer re-boots.
Can anyone help.
I tried the resolution of Q221153 from support.microsoft
with no success.

I'd suspect on of the .cpl files was infected. Supposedly you have
already performed a FULL scan using a recently updated anti-virus
program.

Rename each .cpl file found in %windie%\system32. Test opening Control
Panel. Should find nothing to display (it scans for .cpl files to
show). Then rename then one at a time back to the .cpl extension and
test again with Control Panel. Maybe this will isolate which one is
causing the reboot.
