andsome Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 WELCOME to NP. You don't say what operating sytem is installed . If XP, you could try 'Start/Run then type sfc /scannow, leaving a space after sfc. You will need your system disc. This will replace any missing or corrupt files. If you use 98 or 98SE, type sfc without the /scannow. That's all that I can think of. Maybe someone else has other ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hello KC72. This article applies to win 2000 but probably also applies to XP. have a look at Microsoft knowledge base article > Add/Remove programs window will not open...when I click....Don't forget to back up your registry and save to the desktop before making any changes, if it does not work you can then restore your current registry.
