I hope you will help me.

Yes, it is all icons, as I double click on all icons it shows the busy sign but nothing happens. A friend of mine told me to extract from my Windows CD using System File Checker these two files, Setupx.dll and setup4.dll, it successfully extracted but the problems still remains the same.

Kafi,

I would not have extracted the setupx.dll as SFC gets this file wrong.
Anyhow, try and extract control.exe
First rename control.exe to control.old
It is located in the C:\Windows folder.
Renaming it to control.old will allow you to change it back if necessary.
Then extract control.exe from the CD.

Post back.

HTH

Good Day!
Mesich
