    ok man i done and fix it it was to do with a file in system32 so i searched for file found it ziped it up back in to system32 magic it all works again
    desk.cpl in \..\system32. If that's not there, pop in your XP cd and open \I386\desk.cp_ with winzip/winrar/etc and place it back into \windows\system32. . cheers for you help man pm me on msn cheers.
