add/remove will not open in the control panel
what you can try is putting in your windows xp cd and going to Start / Run
and type in sfc /scannow click ok This will verify that all your windows files are in good shape. This might not fix the issue but its worth a shot. If this doesn't work I would boot up to the windows xp cd and run a repair on the OS. That I am almost possitive will do the trick. Good luck "Rick" wrote in message oups.com...

Hi,
The .exe file, or the link (shortcut) to it? You will find fixes for both a www.dougknox.com under WinXP Fixes/File association fixes (.exe and .lnk). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Rick" wrote in message oups.com...

Pardon my earlier reply, I hadn't notice that you specified Add/Remove in
the headers. Click start/run, type "control appwiz.cpl" and click ok. Does this work? If not (and I suspect it won't), then you need to replace that ..cpl file by expanding a new one from the I386 folder. Start/run msconfig, click on "expand file" (general tab) File to expand: appwiz.cpl From: X:\I386 To: C:\Windows\system32 Where X is whatever letter is assigned your CD drive (you need your WinXP CD for this), change it accordingly. If your system was preinstalled, you may find this instead on the hard drive under C:\Windows\I386 or simply C:\I386. If so, change the "from" line accordingly. This assumes a default installation to C:\Windows. If your installation is in a different folder, such as C:\Winnt, change the "To" path accordingly. Reboot when finished. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Rick" wrote in message oups.com...
