Windows Control Panel Crashing

Hi,
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, since the latest version of Flash Player, a new icon has appeared in my Control Panel, FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl is the file name. Since this update, my Windows Control Panel will continally crash. if I rename FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl to oprevent it from loading with the Windows Control Panel, then there are no crashes? Is this a known issue?

Hi,
I open the Control Panel, and as I move the mouse it crashes, error message: (as stated in my first post if i rename the cpl file to prevent the Flash icon from appearing in the Control Panel, then there are no crashes)
This is the error that is reported in Event Viewer
Faulting application name: explorer.exe, version: 6.1.7601.17567, time stamp: 0x4d672ee4

This is after the Windows Control Panel Crashes.
I run the Flash uninstaller, downloaded flash again, and the same crash occurs. I also have a different versdion of Flash installed for Steam, this does not use the Internet Explorer version.

KokChoy: Control Panel crash with newest PCI drivers

As another user posted, when using the newest PCI drivers posted, in my case, the Xtreme Music X-Fi drivers, marked as 2.8.500, the control panel, crashes or hangs when loading under Windows 7 or windows vista 64 bit.
Can you please confirm or relay to the driver team?

Well John, this will blow your mind I am sure. I download the newest X-FI titanium drivers and unzip them with WINRAR. Then I browse the driver folder inside and update with those. I dont use the setup.exe as it will detect incorrect product. I choose the have disk method and it works brillantly. I used my PCI Fatality PRO with the BETAS and the control panel gave me fits. So I tried as a lark to have disk......to the Titanium drivers and it worked beautifully.
This even gave me VOICEFX for soundFX with my microphone.

[Request] Move Windows Control Panel applet from "System and Security" to "Programs"

The "Flash Player (32-bit)" Windows Control Panel applet should be moved from "System and Security" to "Programs" where the Java applet is.

njb,
Why not just run the ThinkVantage System Update and let it install as usual. You can also "un-check" those drivers that you don't want to install.

Why do I have two versions of Firefox in my Windows Control Panel? (again)

hello,
Updating from Firefox 18.0.1 to 18.0.2 of Firefox has not removed the Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1 entry from the Windows Control Panel list of installed programs.
How could I fix that?
thanks.

It is possible that you only see orphaned Firefox entries in add and remove programs.<br />
This can happen if the Firefox updater didn't remove the entry of the previous version, but merely added an entry for the new version.<br />
If you are comfortable with the registry editor then you can remove Firefox entries that no longer apply in this registry key.
*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (????)
If you have a 64 bit Windows version then inspect this key:
*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox

Windows control panel doesn't recognize Adobe CC Products.

한글(Korean) :
1년 조금 넘게 어도비 CC 정품을 이용해오고 있습니다.
아시다시피 어도비 CC는 어도비 제품들을 원하는대로 다운로드할 수 있잖아요,
저도 많은 제품들을 다운로드해서 쓰고 있었는데 안쓰는 제품들이 몇개 생겨서 제거하려고 합니다.
그런데 제어판에서는 어도비 CC 제품들(포토샵, 애프터이펙트, 오디션 등등)이 뜨질 않네요.
제어판에서 이 제품들을 인식을 못하는거 같은데, 어도비에 전화해보니 C드라이브 들어가서
폴더를 지우라고 하는데, 그냥 제어판이 인식하게 할 수는 없을까요?
English :
I have used Adobe CC products for almost a year.
As you know, I can download any adobe products what I want through it.
I was using a lot of Adobe products, but now, there are some products
that I won't use anymore. So I'm going to delete them.
But windows' control panel doesn't recognize Adobe CC products(like Photoshop, After Effects, Etc..).
So I called to Adobe Korea customer center. They told me that I can go into C drive and delete folders of Adobe products.
This is not the answer what I exactly want. I want to make the control panel can recognize Adobe CC products.
What should I do?

Creative Cloud help says to uninstall CC apps on a Windows PC to do the following:
Open the Window Control Panel > Programs and Features
Choose an app and click Uninstall/Change
Follow on-screen instructions
This information is NOT correct. Programs and Features does not contain all versions of Adobe software installed via Creative Cloud Desktop. It only shows the most current installation. Photoshop is a great example of why this is so. I currently have five versions of Photoshop installed through my Creative Cloud subscription. Windows has difficulty knowing which version to start, much less which to uninstall because the executable file for each version uses the same name--Photoshop.exe. In terms of designating which file types should be opened by which programs, the problem is equally evident. For example, setting current version Photoshop CC 2014 (version 15.1) as the program to open GIF files is not possible because Windows shows it's already done that with the designated program being Photoshop.exe. Of course, all other versions of Photoshop executable files use the name Photoshop.exe. So, it's not surprising that Windows is confused. But that does not help the rest of us.
The original questioner asked how they could get Windows Programs and Features to list CC applications. I don't think that's possible given the way Adobe has configured and named the executable files that Windows relies on. So, I'd add a question for Adobe: How do I uninstall versions of Photoshop and other CC applications that I no longer use. Programs and Features cannot help me--the programs simply are not listed. So, how does Adobe envision users uninstalling CC apps that don't appear in Programs and Features?

Boot Camp Not Working From Windows Control Panel

Hi,
When I click on the 'Boot Camp' icon in the Windows Control Panel I get the usual warning from UAC. When I select 'Allow' I get an error message along the lines that "I don't have permission to access the startup disk" & the app will not run.
I have tried running it as administrator but the result is the same.
Does anyone know how to rectify this so that I can get this utility working correctly again?
Thanks

On the disk Management I tried to set the disk with the OSX partition as active and restarted, and ended up having Missing Operating System error.
Fortunately I managed to solve that problem but still I am unable to switch back to Mac.
Help is needed and much appreciated

Can't log in using windows control panel

Hello,
I have a Mac with a virtual machine where I run Windows Vista. In Lion, iCloud is working fine but in Windows (where I use Outlook) the iCloud login screen is frozen (seems like trying to validate the username) without any progress.
I know it's not an issue of wrong iCloud username because it works ok in my iPhone and in Lion.
I have tried uninstalling an reinstalling the iCloud Windows control panel and iTunes and still doesn't work.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you.

I found out the solution.
I previously had uninstalled MobileMe Control panel, what solved it was installing again MobileMe Control panel, a new one available for download, which includes the funcionallity to migrate to iCloud.
Once done that it works ok.

Windows control panel routine to designate Elements 12 as my default editor does not list the program. It loaded OK and accepted the key. Your regular help line could not help. What to do?

Windows control panel routine to designate Elements 12 as my default editor does not list the program. It loaded OK and accepted the key. Your regular help line could not help. What to do?

Hi Robbie,
The editor program is NOT under the organizer path as you mentioned in your last message. The actual editor program is at the location I gave in message #1 i.e. as follows
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The one under the organizer is actually the Welcome screen which you have probably set up to go directly to the editor.
If you go to the Open With screen I showed in message #3 and browse to the actual editor as given above, it should show up in your list.
If it doesn't, then Windows is playing up again - and we have to take extra steps.

Thinkpad X61 Control Panel Crash

Like it says.
I would be using it for a bit and it would crash randomly. It doesn't matter what category of the control panel I go to either. I can browse around for like 30 seconds then it would crash and the say "The page failed to load." Then when I press the go back button, Windows Explorer would restart.
Looked this up online and saw that it had happened to Vista users too. Apparently it's still dragging into Windows 7.
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,
Control panel works by loading applets corresponding to the different icons in the panel. I assume you have a problem with one of these applets. In my Windows 7 installation I have had no problems so I can only assume that it is some recently installed driver or application which has installed an applet in the panel for configuration purposes.
I can only recommend you try to think back to when the problem started and if you installed something prior in that case deinstall it to see if things improve.
Have you checked you system log for more information about the culprit?

Despite having the File Associations in both Windows Control Panel and Firefox Options set to Windows Media Player for *.mwv files Firefox tries to open them with Foxit pdf Reader, which bombs out - what now?

Making this entry from my Linux computer which handles the situation correctly.The real situation involves only a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP.

I used this link for tiff http://www.nrl.navy.mil/content.php?P=IMAGES
QT was opening the tiff files. When going into the QT control panel Browser>Mime settings>Images-Still image files I was able to uncheck tiff, which held. I was also able to uncheck all the file types under File Types tab(Images-Still image files) in the QT control panel. However the preference would not hold. Went into Start>Set Program Access and Defaults that also was of no help.
The only way I was able to get QT to release the tiff's from the website I posted was to go into the Folder Options control panel for File Types and change the tif & tiff from QT picture viewer to windows picture and fax viewer.
So not sure why the QT control panel will not respond, there are other file types in the Folder options control panel on this computer other than tiff's that are still associated to QT, but didn't try changing them, perhaps that needs to be done?
Good post I didn't realize this before reading your post, if I come across anything further I'll post back.

How do I uninstall PSE 12. It is not listed in Windows control panel. I have PSE 13

How do I uninstall PSE 12. It is not listed in the control panel ow Windows 7. I have upgraded to PSE 13, and it IS listed in the control panel.

Hi,
If you are not able to uninstall the software in the usual way from Programs and Features, you could try a third party uninstaller such as the application detailed below.
Download and install the free version of Revo Uninstaller from the link below.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
Run revo and see if this detects the installation. If it does, right click on the icon of the program you wish to remove and select Uninstall. During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries, just select all and then click delete. Do the same for any left-over files and folders. Once the uninstall has completed, restart the notebook.

ICloud control panel crashes Outlook 2013

Hi everyone,
last week I installed the latest verson of the iCloud control panel (3.0). The only thing doesn't works is the add-in for Outlook. Outlook 2013 allways crashes when the add-in is activated. Before the update is used the latest second generation version of the iCloud control panel and everything was fine. Even "repair" didn't help me to fix the problem.
Does anybody a way to help?

Your first question should be researched on Microsoft's support forums. This may get you started as it discusses how to create and configure an Outlook profile: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918.
On your second question, to change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

ICloud Windows Control Panel setup failure

When I try to run the Windows iCloud Control Panel to set up iCloud on my Windows 7 laptop, I get the following message.   "Your setup couldn't be started because the iCloud server stopped responding".   I was able to get it installed on a Windows Vista desktop. The Internet connection is good so that is not the issue. Any ideas?

I just did some other fiddling around and found that there MAYBE some odd interactions with other OUTLOOK Add-ins.     I noted that LinkedIN has an add it connected to >my< contacts.    Some time ago, I recall something similar with Facebook ( but I long ago killed that off)
I found the same "... server stopped working... "   error. Drove me crazy to diagnose.
Next I told it to be selective about what to synch, not just do everything. Menu on icloud popped up showing me "do you want LinkedIN connections.... or the Outlook"    Unchecked the "LinkedIN"     All ran fine with just the OUTLOOK selection !!   Wow....
Ok, still gets a little tricky...     You will now find that outlook has a contact subfolder called iCloud contacts. ( pardon if that is the wrong terminology..)   That outlook-iCloud now contains all the real outlook contacts that used to reside in the "My Contacts >> Contact " folder.
Now all syncs fine, without error, with this newer " iCloud > Contacts"    folder.
Pardon if this fix sounds confusing. :-)   It is... since I am not a super-techie type to explain properly.
At the end of the day, I am strongly suspecting that all these add in's begin to confuse the various programmers who try to make interfaces with outlook.     They may work individually ( as they are all in a final release version )   but adding layer upon layer of different add ins might be confusing some other add in's.
If I am on to something here, then makes perfect sense to me that the Apple Support are confused too    How would they know about all the interations for stuff like    my Outlook Business Contact manager ( which I am actually now having issue ),   the iCloud interface to Oulook, the LInkedIN interface to Oulook.... then, perhaps once was a Facebook add in interface too?
For all you who had unresolved issues, check out my idea and repost your findings too.    Check out this angle.
Cheers
Tom

Create an ODBC using java without using the windows controll panel

Hi, does anyone know if its possible to set up an ODBC connection to a MySQL database using a java program, or do these things always have to be made using windows from the control panel?

try {
     System.out.println("Connecting to database LMS001db");
     conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localHost/lms001db");
} catch (SQLException sqle){
