Control Panel Problem

When I click on any of the icons in my Control Panel, I receive an "access to specified device, path or file is denied." Can someone tell me what I can do to repair this? Thanks.

    Ouch!  Sounds like file corruption, but could be many other things.

    1) Spyware check/removal

    2) Virus update/full scan

    3) Defragment hard drive

    If you're still having problems you are looking at several different options.

    1) System Restore to before the problem first occured.

    2) XP repair OS option from the boot cd.

    3) Dell recovery CD.  (yuck)

    4) Format/reinstall 

     

    Good luck
