Hi, I am running NT 4.0 Wkstn, and upon bootup and while i attempt to open display properties through control panel or on the desktop, i receive the error "An error occurred while windows was working with the control panel file c:\winnt\system32\desk.cpl."
I have tried reloading SP6 several times, as well as IE5 and virus scan etc. this does not come up in VGA mode, and i have no idea what's causing it. PLEASE HELP!!
thanks

Suggestion
1)Test your display card in other system
2)download the latest NT 4.0 display card driver and then try again
Can u tell me (email what exactly the error is ?)
3)Use the last know configuration
4)If you are using IE 5.5 Please uninstall it
