I have this exact same problem, have not used Vlite at all. Something to do with services I know for sure cp DOESN'T open

i too have noticed some bugs with functionality. like snipping tool not running unless right click on and ran as administrator. there are other but this one is real pain for me. i dont remove alot either, i only remove languages, media center, tablet pc, help, and speech which by the way removes over 4gigs. i feel like permissions gets screwed somehow as this doesn't happen if i logon in true admin account.

i found that when i disable UAC all my errors go away, when i enable it they all come back. maybe thats why most people aren't having problems cause they disable UAC.

could happened by disable same services happened to me

AH-HAH

my bugmenot a** has found it

DON'T DISABLE SOFTWARE LICENSING, SL UI Notification, and Ready boost

have them disabled and works fine here, ready boost was taken out by vlite and almost all my services are disabled no problems at all since vista came out

Just thought I would mention. Realtek does seem to be the cause of the problems. Ran into this a long time ago.

The newer drivers should have fixed the issue (did for me) and that was back in february when I posted that.

neuro42, great, just in time while I was thinking is it worth pursuing this weird bug. Thx.

Those services just checking the activation of the vista would be nice if nuhi could take them out and remove the dependence from the system

i don't know if its legit but its more about efficiency

i have the problem and its not realtec, i have x-fi and uninstalled all drivers and CP never opens.

this isnt nothing with Vlite cause it hapened to me on 3 other installs that were from original disk.

i can reinstall it and it starts acting up the same day, usually works every so many reboots till it never works at all. nothing in CP shows under search nor functions as well

now when i open it, i get a blank white window

once i can find the new RC vlite download i'm going back to 32 bit

Simply restarting the Software Licensing service will fix this (each and every time it happens).

This is a bug with vista, nuhi, dont waste your time.

As much as you guys believe it has to do with vLite, trust me, its vista related. This has happened to me since early vista betas. Also happens on my retail copy. Microsoft simply ignored all of my bug filings on the subject, or blamed drivers on one occasion. I've yet to figure out what causes it, but I do know how to fix it when it happens.

On my system (C2D 6600 @ 3.2ghz, 2gb DDR2, etc) it seems to happen randomly. It started to happen very frequently, usually every single time I rebooted, but as of late, I havnt seen it in a few weeks.

Thanks Aero, I haven't experienced that even in betas so it must be some driver. Some of them were older Realtek and Creative drivers.
