Hi Peter
Do you have your install CD for WinME? Or, is it an OEM install? Try the
following and see if it helps:

Although it say for W98, it might work for ME too.
However, you may have to do a repair of WinME. You might find it helpful to
take a look at the information below for information you may need to do the
repair or reinstall of ME. You should at this point be very careful in how
you do the reinstall if necessary, as you may wind up with an IE cross
mixture that will be harder to resolve. By way of this reply, I
cross-posting this to the microsoft.public.windowsme.general newsgroup as
well, as you may need the assistance of the experts there to help with the
Control Panel problem and ME repair and IE installs if necessary.
