Control Panel causes Windows Explorer to stop working.

I am running Windows Vista for Busines, which was upgraded when Vista arrived
on my machine from Windows XP. Recently (last 3 months), every time I try to
start Control Panel, the message "Windows Explorer as stopped working"
arrives and the task bar and such all restart. Control Panel never gets a
chance to come up or to display anything. I have had a similar problem with
other 3rd party applications, all of which I managed to resolve with DEP
settings. This problem, however, is stumping me. I have looked through the
knowledge base, different forums, and anything else I could find, but still
have found no resolution. Any suggestions?

(936686) Icons are missing from Control Panel,
or you cannot start Control Panel, the Welcome
Center, or games in Windows Vista

Uninstall Windows Live OneCare if you have that installed.
