SP2 Installation Problem
in [Windows XP]
|
From: mcp6453 on 14 Feb 2005 16:56 I just installed SP2 and have a problem. When I try to start Security Center, I get the following error message: An exception occurred while trying to run "Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL wscui.cpl" I've tried Start | Run | wscui.cpl, and that does not work, either. The Security Center icon shows up in Control Panel, but I cannot run it. It did run once. Does anyone know how I can solve the problem? A Google search on web pages or on newsgroups did not result in a single hit.

I already did a Google search like this one, but I cannot find a reference to the problem. I cannot do Start Run wscui.cpl, like the posts in the search. Did I miss something? Thanks, mcp6453

I cannot locate anything on the page that suggests how I go about troubleshooting the problem of wsciu.cpl not starting. Based on my limited understanding, I went through all of the troubleshooting steps (netsh, etc.) but I saw nothing out of whack. The services are listed as running. |
