    When I right click on my computer..properties this pops up.. The application or DLL c:\Winnt\System32\SYDM.CPL is not a valid Windows Image please check this against your installation diskette..Anyone know what this means?I'm running XP and tried system restore,but it still pops up..Thanks

    Looks like you may have a corrupted file - the correct file is sysdm.cpl and is the Control Panel Extension (*.cpl) which shows System Properties, i.e. My Computer right click > Properties.

    Are you sure that this is not a typo?

    I suggest you run the System File Checker - not sure if it corrects this type of file or not.

    Start > Run > type in sfc /scannow - note the space - you may need your XP installation CD.

    PeteC...I was just on my way back here,that's what I did.I forgot about that.I put that in run,it start scanning my files,told me to put the disk in..Scanned about 10 min. and I was back in business
    That's for helping,If I didn't think of that,you had me covered..
    I would have been back sooner but windows fixed it but made a mess lool,i had to check disk for error's and defrag afterwards..
    Thanks again..:D
