Vista - Messed up the GPMC

I found out too late that GPMC is built into Vista. The built in version is
2.0 while the Windows XP version I installed was the 1.0 version. When you
install the XP version it seems to overwrite the 2.0 version inside Vista
Business. When I uninstalled the XP version you no longer have access to the
console.

I have been unable to find a way to restore the built in console. I can't
use System Restore as the XP version installation was one of the first things
I installed after getting Vista up and running.

Is there another way to restore it, other than re-installing Vista?

I read a similar thread in one of the RC days, and was informed that
there isn't a recovery solution. I spent a while looking myself after
making a similar mistake.

Luckily(?) my Audigy 2 drivers are so unstable I ended up performing a
complete reinstall of Vista, so I solved my own problem.

Sorry I can't help you further
