This comes up when i click the desktop and go to properties.

Do a repair install on your system. That might fix the problem.

My mom says that we dont have an OS CD...do i need an XP disk to reinstall Windows?

[ricktendo]

[Knepper]

[Knepper]

Do a chkdsk first before rushing out to buy Windows.

Does your PC not come with a restore CD or partition?

McUpdate belongs to McAfee Internet Security. Is McAfee working? If not can you reinstall it?

Don't know about AOL file as I can't see the long filename.

Desk.cpl is the CP applet for desktop properties.

I don't know what the three have in common.

Is your windows XP\SP2? If it is I will post my desk.cpl for you.

As for the other errors it really does look like something aol related are you using aol?

Does your PC not come with a restore CD or partition? nope...my mom's fault...lost it or something and shes making me pay for it :/

Yes, its XP/SP2...i dont use AOL my mom does though...and it works fine

Lets try finding and replacing you corrupted files one at a time. Tell me what version of XP you have and I will post the uncorrupted files for you.

Here is

desk.cpl

mstask.dll

www.wpiw.net/downloads/destop.rar

unrar it and replace the ones in your system32 dir with these ones.

Note: you may need to use a small app called replacer and a reboot to do this. (Just google it)

Mstask.dll belongs to Task Scheduler, presumably something to do with McAfee too.
