[betamanhu]

Hi..

these three objects are giving error when i try to open them on my windows XP pro.
rsop.msc
gpedit.msc
secpol.msc

They all get the same message
Snap-in Creation Failed
The snap-in is not created, it may not be installed properly
Name:Group Policy
CLSID: {8FCOB743.......

i did srched the previous reply's but nothing is working for me( i havent done re-registration)
i tried updating the system path but still the same problem...

i guess this problemm cannot be becuase of privelges as i never changed anythng from default... its mainly due to forced deinstallation of some software...

can anyone please help me...
