Hi Lennart,
As I understand, once you open Control Panel, it opens for 2 seconds. Then
all the Windows Explorer windows are closed. Also, the desktop will be
restarted. Is this correct?
It appears that the Explorer.exe (which hosts Control Panel as well as the
Desktop) crashes so these windows are closed. At this time, I suggest you
try the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:
1. Does this issue always reproduce when you start Control Panel?
2. Try to boot Windows Safe Mode and then check if this issue occurs under
this mode.
a. Restart Windows 2000.
b. After Power On Self Test (POST), press F8 repeatedly.
c. In the "Windows Advanced Options Menu", select "Safe Mode".
d. Press Enter to start Windows 2000 under Safe Mode.
NOTE: Windows use 640*480 as screen resolution under Safe Mode.
Please try the above steps and then let me know the results. I look forward
to hearing from you.
Regards,
Eric Shen
