Blank "User Accounts" in XP

Last Updated: 2/14/10

Issue:
When you click on "User Accounts" in control panel on a computer running Windows XP it shows up blank. Only displaying the back, forward, and home buttons. Other components of Windows XP may also show up blank including "Windows Search" and any MMC console snap-in including services.msc.

Solution:
Type these commands from Start, Run dialog:

regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 nusrmgr.cpl
regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll

If any of these command displays an error try running this command first and then the rest when the program completes:

"sfc /scannow"

Your Windows XP CD may be required
