 Empty control Panel?!?
After adding a new mobo/cpu, I stripped all drivers out in safe mode, rebooted, and let windows redetect everything. All seemed good until I opened the control panel....It was blank, but still said "45 objects" at bottom. I hit ctrl-a to select all and then hit enter....lo and behold the applets all opened.....I don't get it....this is also happening in a few other places: Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer (nothing on right hand window)....I also can't right click in any of these blank windows....quite frustrated!!! any ideas?

Sometimes you can hit F5 and it will refresh the window.

Graphics driver or incorrect graphics settings? Sounds liek they are there and just cannot be displayed. Never seen it before.

someone configure your registry. you can hide all items in the control panel by using the registry.

I have seen it to where you can disable the control panel but I have not seen the ability to hide all items in the control panel, I know you can do it for my computer however.
it is remotely possible that the web view got screwed up, so you could try clicking on the view menu and un-check "as web page".
