SP2 on XP PRO killed gpedit.msc ?

After upgrading my XP Pro machine with SP2 when I type gpedit.msc in
start/run box I get this message:

"Snap-in failed to initialize.
Name " Group Policy"
CLSID : {8SC0B734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3}

Clicking OK brings up this in the Group Policy Box :

On the left side of the box : Local Computer Policy

On the right side of the box:
Snap In creation failed
The Snap In is not created , it may not be installed properly
Name " Group Policy"
CLSID : {8SC0B734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3}

Not that I use GP Edit much but this seems a bit strange.
Anyone else have this?
