    Red face WinXP My Computer Properties screwed up

     
    I've never seen this happen before and it has me stumped. I'm running Windows XP Professional w/ SP1.

    When I click on 'Start' then right-click on 'My Computer' and select 'Properties' nothing happens. The 'My Computer' properties sheet never comes up. I can only get it to come up if I go through Control Panel and double-click 'System' from there.

    Then, when it does pull up from there, it is incomplete only showing a few of the sheets. I've attached a screenshot below of what comes up.

    Any ideas?

    Fixed.

    I used 'sfc /scannow' and it fixed my problem.
