Hi all

I've recently started having a problem in XP Pro which means I can't open device manager or disk defragmenter, I get an error saying

"MMC cannot open the file c:\windows\system32\devmgmt.msc" for Device Manager and "c:\windows\system32\dfrg.msc".

I have followed the directions given on this web page
http://www.techimo.com/forum/t145268.html
And used the expansion utility to replace these files. I have a folder on my hard drive called c:\i386, which seems to contain the compressed files for windows. I have used the expansion utility, adapting the file paths appropriately, to replace the files. The expansion itself seems to have worked according to the results in the cmd window, but I still can't start device manager or Defragmenter, I get the same error message.


Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

James
