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?
