Hi
 
I've been running my latest install of XP pro for quite sometime now with little trouble (Apart from the Infinite Loop thing and some other small things).
 
But today I thought I would have a play with the Group Policy settings and so I tried to open gpedit.msc, but when I did I got this error;
 
Snap-in failed to initialize
Name: Group Policy
CLSID:{8FC0B734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3}
 
And then when I click on ok it opens the console but shows nothing, and says;
 
Snap-in Creation Failed.
The snap-in is not created, it may not be installed properly.
Name: Group Policy
CLSID:{8FC0B734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3}
 
Any ideas what’s happened?
 
Any ideas on how to fix it (preferable with out a complete reinstall)
 
 
Thanks
