Rundll Control_RunDLL error, can't use add/remove programs

I had the same problem trying to run add/remove programs on my Windows
XP (SP2) laptop. Someone told me to run "sfc /scannow" from Start ->
Run and now add/remove works fine for me. They also instructed me, "If
it starts complaining about not being able to find files, then just go
ahead and cancel it. You'll probably have to stop it from the task
manager, because as soon as you hit OK, another window will almost
immediately open."

For me, the program opened up a small status window and ran for at
least 5 or 10 minutes (not sure how long). It eventually finished and
there was no final status window or anything. I then was able to use
add/remove programs without problems.

Just now I did a quick Google search and found this link with
additional info on scannow: http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html

I had previously done some amount of searching on my own to try to find
a solution to this problem and I hadn't found anything obvious which
worked from other user groups.

I hope this helps.
