Hi - I've been looking all night for an answer to these tow (related?) problems.

Add/Remove software has disappeared from my Control Panel. Before that, it just didn't work (I clicked & nothing happened). Also, most of the .cpl's in Administrative Tools don't work (eg Event Viewer). I have tried to execute the .cpl's through the command interface, but to no avail...

Secondly, I no longer seem to be able to re-enable the welcome login screen (got the classic one now). I have tried to re-enable it through the register, and by trying the settings in User Accounts. No luck, though.

I seem to think it has to do with the a recently installed hotfix, but I don't know which one, as Add/Remove doesn't ork anymore!

Oh, and another thing: all versions of TweakUI I tried "failed to initialize".
