On a Windows Nt 4.0 computer, it gives this error message when trying to open control panel,"THERE WAS AN INTERNAL ERROR AND ONE OF THE WINDOWS YOU WERE USING WILL BE CLOSED." Is this as sipmle as replacing the executable file? Please advise. Thank you.

Sounds like an explorer.exe problem. Does it give the same error after rebooting?

Otherwise, control panel items use extension .cpl
Try searching for all files with this extension, and see if you can determine if they are all present. They may can be restored from a .dll on your installation disk.
