Problem with windows component! Help!!!!

I have windows xp, usually it works pretty good. However,
recently I have had one too many problems with my sonic
DVD plus, most of it would not work, so I uninstalled it. I
think I might of inadvertently removed something called
sonic.inf. Because later on when I went to add and remove
some windows components, I get this darn error message,
missing sonic.inf file contact systems administrator. I ran
both virus scan, spyware and maleware programs thinking
I'd picked up a bug, and they showed no problems.

OOOPPPPSSS!! I swear my brain is on vacation without me. This is the exact message I get when I try to add/remove windows component. Setup was unable to open information file sonic.inf. Contact your system administrator. The specific error code is 0x2 at line 0.

Yeah I'm totally lost on this one...HHHEEELLLPPP!!!

Thanks a bunch, Deana. :cry:-o:confused

 

Plodr, I did the sfc /scannow, and it ask for windows xp sp3 cd. I do not have that CD, since xp was already installed when I bought it through the now bankrupt Circuit Center. They did not give me the CD, go figure. So, I can buy a Microsoft Windows XP w/ SP3 (OEM). I just want to make sure I order the right one and it works.

Thanks Deana

 

Update: I have the OS CD and ran the sfc/scannow, and it didn't repair the problem. I still cannot open the components part to add or remove things. However, everything works ok otherwise, so I'm not going to worry about it. Thanks for your help!

 

Update that solved my problem. I went to the following websight:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...ce-b5fb-4488-8c50-fe22559d164e&displaylang=en

I downloaded the program XP SP3 and then installed it. It solved my problem with getting into windows components. Thanks for your help.
