Problem with desktop icons


Every time I double click on the icons on the desktop of Windows XP there seems nothing to happen. From start > control panel > display I get this message. Please can any one help?:

A message keep coming up saying an exception occurred while trying to run "shell32.dll,control_RunDLL2C:WINDOWS\system32\des k.cpl2Display"

Re: Problem with desktop icons


shell32.dll is a core system file. See if the date of the one in your system folder is the same as other system files. If not, you may need to overwrite it with a fresh copy from a trusted source. Also, install and run Spybot S&D if you have not already done so.

Good luck!

Re: Problem with desktop icons


thank you very much for replying to my thread. could you please help me out in one more instance please. i will like to reinstall windows rather than overwrite the system file simply because i do not know how to overwrite a system file you see. i am not so computer literate. would you say reinstalling windows will solve the problem.
