Event Viewer fails to snap-in, XP Pro SP2

[Sean]

When I attempt to open the Event Viewer in XP Pro SP2 I
receive the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------

Snap-in Creation Failed.

The snap-in is not created, it may not be installed
properly.

Name:Event Viewer

CLSID:{975797FC-4E2A-11D0-B702-00C0-4FD8DBF7}

--------------------------------------------------------

I've tried removing the snap-in in MMC and then re-adding
it, but to no avail. Any help here is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Carey. My PATH environment variable
was already set to the value that that article referred
to. Any other ideas?
