re-register the file devmgr.dll

start -->. run -->> type:
regsvr32 /u gpedit.dll

Again, start -->. run -->> type:
regsvr32 gpedit.dll

restart, your problem should be solved.

When i tried to do as told above i am getting this error msg
Load Library(gpedit.dll)failed-Specified module cannot be found

Are you using Win XP Home Edition or Professional Edition? Group policy Editor is not available on Home Edition...

why you are not trying:

This happened with you because Group Policy editor is not included in the Home Basic it is availble in XP Professional.

Follow these steps.

Click Start and select Run.

Type msconfig and Click OK.

Click Expand File.

Type framedyn.dl_ in the File to restore field.

Restore the file from the i386 folder on the XP CD.

Save it to the %systemroot%\System32 folder.

Follow these steps and look if this solves your problem or not.
