XP with SP1. I can open Control Panel, but any attempt to access a Control
Panel item results in the message Control Panel Not Responding and I have to
end task. This might have occurred after an update, but I don't know which
one. I can access the CPL files directly (at least all those that I expect
to operate like that, such as Main or Mouse or DateTime) but not through CP
_unless_ I change it to 'classic' view - then it operates OK.

Any ideas for restoring CP functionality in standard view gratefully
received.
