Hi, if you have your installation disk why not try the repair function? Or you could try googling for the missing files. My only other option was to suggest system restore but as this closes instantly your going to struggle with that one.

alright, I will try with the disc and see how that goes

look into running it from the cmd prompt, not dbl clicking the icon. Netstat is another example of this

Just outta curiosity are you running SP1?
