You'll need to let us know more info:

1) Which operating system / version?
2) When do you get this error? (on startup, on opening a control panel, on starting a certain program)
3) What exactly is "most stuff" that you've tried? (copying the file from another good machine, pulling the original from CAB files on the Windows CD)

With more info, someone may be able to help.

If you perform a find on the main.cpl file and cannot click on it an open, then most likely it is courrupt. You will need to copy it from the CD.
Try to load the last good config. if you have not done so.
