    If this only started happening recently then System Restore might be a good idea. Or you could try Start>Run>"sfc /scannow" without the quotes and see if that helps (you'll need the XP CD handy).

    One other thought - my gpedit.msc is 34,871 bytes in size, if yours is different then it might be corrupted, you should be able to copy it of the XP CD.

    Here's the Resource Kit article on extracting files from the CD:

    Thanks for all your help, turned out being that I was missing a .dll file from the System32 folder. I just made a copy of the same .dll file that is also located in the wbem folder within the System32 folder. I know, but who da' thought it.

    I'm glad you got it sorted - I've got to ask how on earth did you find out that was the problem?
    Nick.

    The way I found out that it was a .dll file was through guess work.

    I have another system that runs XP Pro, I made a copy of the 'gpedit' file from it and replaced the one I was having trouble with. That didn't help any 'cause I kept getting the same error. Then I ran a search for 'gpedit' on the system (with PowerDesk), came up with the one in the System32 folder, but when I'd highlight it to open it, it'll give me a new error saying that "framedyn.dll' is missing. Did a new search for the 'framedyn.dll' file, came up with one, made a copy of it from the other computer to replace it, then try gpedit again, still got the first error that I listed earlier.

    I thought to myself, "What gives!!" Then I thought, "What if I made a copy of the .dll file that's in the "wbem" folder and placed it in the System32 folder where gpedit is listed" I did, what did I have to lose, then tried gpedit again. This time it worked correctly, I guess that the original framedyn.dll file got deleted somehow.

    So there it is, the whole complete story!
