Some corrupt system files

I am not able to open most of my .msc files, such as services.msc or
compmgmt.msc, but I am able to open the MMC app itself. How can i fully
restore all default Windows system files? I have not created a ASR floppy.
Could I run the recovery console to replace system files without destroying
all my settings?

The System File Checker (sfc) scans and verifies the versions of all
protected system files.

ok, have run it twice. It did not fix my installation. A lot of the system
tools are unavailable, and I hoped I would be able to fix my XP without
reinstalling.
I can start the snap-ins manually from MMC, but my system is still messed
up.
any other ideas?
