No Administrative Tools, how restore?

[~A_Sammy]

Hi,

I'm working on a buddy's machine, and when I went to Control Panal,
Admistrative Tools, nothing happens.
I get a white screen. Everything else seems to be working correctly. I
scanned the system with AVG
anti-virus and it said the system was clean.

Is there a way to restore this?

TIA for an ideas.

Sammy

You must be logged in as an administrator to go into Adminstrators Tools,
are you?

Yes I'm logged on as an administrator.
In C\settings\all users\programs\ad tools there is nothing either

problem solved. After various fixes fm google searches, I re-installed XP
over itself.

It's working fine now.

Since you didn't tell us what problems your friend was having that
caused you to go over there to help him, any response here has to be a
guess. Try going to Start>Run and typing "sfc /scannow" without the
quotes. Note that there is a space between "sfc" and "/scannow". This
should replace damaged or missing system files. If you need more help,
then please repost and include more information about your friend's
situation.
