Ok... The issue, my pops computer (dell 2350 p41.8 512ram, Xp home sp1) no items in the control panel work, save administrative tools, and networking (I assume it is because they are folders, not just progs).

I tried running is safe mode, same prob.

I tried using SFC /scannow.... everything was fine.

Tried running ad aware, spybot, avg, and system cleanup. Nada.

System restore is turned off. Last known good didnt work. Bah.

I can, however, get into the device manager through computer management.....

I called dell, after getting one of there o so helpfull indian tech people, she gave me a new number to "advanced" tech support. After annother 30 mins on hold, I was told that dell does not support software without purchasing the "software" warrenty. WTF? So I then called MS, they told me to call dell for support issues........................

I hate them both. I would have never told my dad to get a dell, if I had known they wouldnt support the OS, I would have built it. I didnt want to deal with this.

Grrrrrrrr.

HELP!
