All of a sudden I am getting this error on Windows XP Home edition across all user accounts. I have tried going into the Recovery Console as suggested in KB555939. However the sfc command is not valid there so that doesn’t seem to help.
Tried manually copying netman.dll and netshell.dll from another Win XP PC but that made no difference. I am beginning to think the only way round this problem is a full system reinstall (goodbye data…)
