I am using Windows XP Proffesional with SP3
I went to Control Panel and attempted to open Add/REmove.
Instead, I got the following error message:
ERROR LOADING
C;\Windows\system\shell32.dll
Could someone suggest a fix for this error message
Thanks in advance for your support.

What firewall are you running? If it's a new or upgrade install, your
firewall may be blocking access to *.cpl files; i.e., Comodo's Defense
Security.

I'm not certain...but the following article
sounds like it may be worth a look:

I'm curious if it's related to the recent KB967715. Can you check your
C:\Windows folder for this folder? This update recently updated the
shell32.dll file.
