Control Panel

[Guest]

My computer crashed and I had to re-install XP Pro. After this when I tried
to acc the Add or Remove Programs in the Comtrol Panel, this message is
displayed:

An exception occurred while trying to run
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\appwiz.cpl", Add or Remove Programs"

Can someone help me please??

Unfortunately they didnt help me. Every other control panel option works ok,
its just the Add or Remove that doesnt.
