Hi,
Expand a new copy. Start/run msconfig, click on "expand file" (general tab)
File to expand: gpedit.msc
From: X:\I386
To: %windir%\system32
Where X is whatever letter is assigned your CD drive (you need your WinXP CD
for this), change it accordingly. If your system was preinstalled, you may
find this instead on the hard drive under C:\Windows\I386. If so, change the
"from" line accordingly.
Repeat this operation for gpedit.dll, then also expand gpedit.hlp and
gpedit.chm to the %windir%\help directory.
Reboot when finished, retry running gpedit.msc.
