CNET's Forum on Windows legacy operating systems, (XP, 2000/NT, ME, & Windows 95/98) is the best source for finding help or getting troubleshooting advice from a community of experts. Discussions cover Windows 2003 Server, Windows installation, adding and removing programs, driver problems, crashes, upgrading, and other OS-related questions.
I'm running XP home. When I open the control panel, and then open the performance and maintenance page, and select the system icon, I get the following error: An error occurred while Windows was working with the Control Panel file C:\WINNT\system32\sysdm.cpl. What gives?
Thanks

Change the word Norton for "protection." Please do not make me ask if you have any one of the dozen others. Think about what these can do to interfere with a service pack updating that file.
-> In closing I see you have a discussion in computer help. To stop duplication of effort I will make this my last reply here.
In parting, if anyone was tinkering with SERVICES I suggest you put them to "stock". How? Read http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm
