Re: Group Policy Failed to Initialize in WXP Pro SP2

Try:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\gpedit.dll

If the same error occurs, then expand a copy of gpedit.dll from XP CD.

I've been referred to Group Policy a couple of times but ...
In Run: gpedit.msc brings up:
Snap-in failed to initialize
Name: Group Policy
CSID:{8FC0B734-AOE1-etc.
I click OK and get the following in a Group Policy window:
"Snap-in Creation Failed
The snap-in is not created, it may not be installed properly.
Name: Group Policy followed by the same key."

I ran Repair for Net Framework 2.0 in the event it was in there but still
unsolved.
Would someone pls tell me where I can find this Group Policy feature to
install it.
I've been looking for it all night - it's not in my install of Management
Console - now more confused than when I started. Is this a bad install
and
if so how do I install it again?
Is there something in the registry to release this program or an
MS Download I failed to locate?
Thx in advance to anyone that's kind enough to submit their suggestions.
