error: please go to the control panel to install and configure system components

[Emily]

Each time I start Windows, the following error message
appears:

Windows XP Setup
Please go to the Control Panel to install and configure
system components.

I don't know which system components I'm supposed to
install. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
