XP LOCAL SECURITY POLICY PROBLEM

[Le Van Hai]

I am running Windows XP Professional, OEM version came
with an IBM ThinkPad R32 notebook.

When I open Administrative Tools, and click on Local
Security Policy icon, the under-attached message appears:

Microsoft Management Console
Snap-in failed to initialize.
Name:Group Policy

CLSID:{8FC0B734-A0F1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3}
OK

When I click OK button on the MMC message window, it goes
to Local Security Settings/Local Computer Policy with an
warning message:

X Snap-in Creation Failed.
The snap-in is not created, it may not be installed
properly.
Name:Group Policy

CLSID:{8FC0B734-A0F1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3}


Please help!
Thanks,

check to see if the system env path var starts with
c:\windows;c:\windows\system32;c:\windows\system32\wbem;
