When I click in Control Panel on the Add/remove programes link I get this message:

"C:WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
C:WINDOWS\system32\appwiz.cpl"

I've tried RegCure registry cleaner and scanned for worms and viruses to no avail. I've also tried running various scrips from the command prompt but no success.

I have a Intel Pentium 4 machine with Windows XP Home.

See if this fixes it.

Have done that. System then tries to look for files on CDROM and then says it does not recognize my CD!

I've looked at various other help files but can't work it out. Hence reason I'm also trying to find a way to totally reinstall Windows and start again!
