Hi,

Suddenly I cannot access anything via the MMC. I can't
access Device Manager or run the servives.msc etc. at all.
I just get the MMC cannot open file [filename] due to it
not being there, access priviledges etc.
The files do exist, I haven't changed my access
priviledges (still computer Admin)

What has happened and how can I rectify it ?
I searched the KB and came up with nothing :-/

Thanks
Scott
