anyone know how to fix this?
Hey Lynch try this.It pertains to "Cannot access Add/Remove Windows Components"
1. Insert the Windows XP CD
2. Go to Start>> Run. Type in: Expand C:\i386\NETOC.IN_ -rC:\Windows\Inf [Enter]
Or you can do a sfc /scannow also suggested.This will make sure those files that are missing are replaced.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Thanks zipp first one did not work (or do I need to reboot? also, I did not hear the CD move - I did see CMD flash). Damn I hate running sfc because I don't have xp with sp2 - well I do but it's that 4gb job with a bunch of apps. Sometimes widows can't find what it needs so I have to skip it.

Just for the heck of it try replacing NETOC.IN with msgrocm.dll.

It's SYSoc.inf and you need a gap after the -r ....
expand %CDROM_DRIVE_LETTER%:\i386\sysoc.in_ -r c:\windows\inf

good luck
I'm using Windows 7 - you got a problem with that?
If the above solution doesn't fix it try this.
msgrocm .dll relates to Windows Messenger.
Reinstall Windows Messenger from here and the corrupt/missing dll will be replaced.

Oh yes that's messenger allright, apparently Themes can also cause problems when using add/remove windows comps, sysoc.inf is the file that contains the data used by add/rem.
once again - good luck.

thanks guys. Whether there's a gap or not expand.exe starts (but did not work to solve the problem):
As far as reinstalling messenger, I have messenger (windows) started and working. Do you still recommend reinstalling? * edit - opps, I installed this one yesterday: Messenger 7.0 Final, Version 7.0.0777
Edit*************************
- good call, I remember this. However, I'm now using windows classic and still have problem.Themes can also cause problems when using add/remove windows comp
