Event Viewer fails to snap-in, XP Pro SP2

[Sean]

When I attempt to open the Event Viewer in XP Pro SP2 I
receive the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------

Snap-in Creation Failed.

The snap-in is not created, it may not be installed
properly.

Name:Event Viewer

CLSID:{975797FC-4E2A-11D0-B702-00C0-4FD8DBF7}

Thanks for the reply Carey. My PATH environment variable
was already set to the value that that article referred
to. Any other ideas?
