Many system functions don't work
For example: 1) when I click on any icons within the
control panel, they won't open, 2) I can't open the Help directory and 3) the computer won't install a new program I've downloaded. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

1. Do a find on: *.cpl and move all the files you find to a new
folder on the desktop. Replace one and try the control panel. If it opens, replace another and so on until the control panel will not open. When that happens, replace the last .cpl file with a new copy. Then continue checking the rest of the .cpl files in case more than one is corrupt. 2. More info--what happens when you try to open help? Any error messages? If so, report them verbatim. 3. Is it just one program or do all programs fail to install? What happens when you try to install it? Any error messages? If so, report them verbatim. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Bruce" wrote in message ...
