HELP! Control Panel "disappearances"

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Fairly recently, both "Install or Uninstall Programs" and "Scanners and
Cameras" effectively disappeared from my Control Panel.

What remains are "generic" icons that do nothing.

I've tried suggestions offered by others, but nothing changes.

Sorry for the double post. Wasn't sure the first one "took."
