When I open the User Account applet in Control Panel, it is completely blank.
Same situation in the System Restore folder. I click on ? Help and Support
from the start menu and there is no response.

First encountered this when I opened my itunes and saw a message asking if I
wanted itunes to be my default media player. I said "yes" and it told me I
didn't have permission.

Started to reinstall XP from the Dell disk, got message that version is
older than current (SP2) and to please insert disk. No disk, did microsoft
update. Now when I go to microsoft update page, the page stays blank. Have
uninstalled/reinstalled Internet Explorer, no change. Help???

The first article directed me to run this command from the Start Menu:
regsvr32 jscript.dll. It worked!

Saved me hours. Thank you.
