I cant get system properties by any method

Also, boot into safe mode, do either of the four ways to access system properties, from other reply, work in safe mode?

what happens exactly in safe mode when you try the different access methods?

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/skydrive/download

go here, you cannot download the APP which is another part of skydrive, with xp.

However, you can have an online account with xp. :)

I have xp, and I have an account. :)

so sign up using the same info as you use to sign in here, then upload a copy of your file, get a link to paste here, and make it public, if you need further instructions let me know. :)

going into regedit, I was hoping would solve the problem, but we will have to try something else.

AND did you install Microsoft security essentials or any antivirus?

I would follow these steps to reregister some DLLs that may have come updone somehow.

Click Start, Run and in the box enter the following commands one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command one at a time:

regsvr32 jscript.dll

regsvr32 nusrmgr.cpl

regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll  (may generate a harmless warning message depending on your environment)

regsvr32 themeui.dll

regsvr32 vbscript.dll

Reregistering the DLLs is okay even if they do not need reregistering.

See if you stuff works better now.

another step to try. :)
