I can not get any snapins in MMC. It just says that there is an error, sends
it to Microsoft, and shuts down. I am using XP pro sp3. Flash disappeared
and I can not get it to reinstall, I can not see any of my devices in device
manager. My consol under MMC is blank and it shuts down if I try to add any
snap in. This is really getting frustrating.

Sounds like a corrupted file problem. Run the system file checker.

scannow sfc - LEARN how to use SFC.EXE (system file checker)
http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html

What is the System File Checker, and how do I run it?

I learned something new which is a good thing. However, the solution failed.
Any other ideas?

I can only think of corrupted or infected files or a registry error... so up
next should be to check for spyware, trojans or viruses... the MMC may be
actually hidden by such bugs. Go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\ and find the file;
"MMC.exe"... if the file is there, (which is likely since you've run the
"sfc scannow") doble click on the file, and see if that makes the MMC
snap-in open or watch for any messages and make notes, you could also check
the Event Viewer to se if any errors are registered. (Control
Panel\Management Tools\Computer Management\Event Viewer). Next check the
MMC.exe file for security permissions to your profile account, maybe take
ownership of the file and run several security applications and/or run
online antivirus & antispyware scans. Also go to
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and download the registry fix
from line 296 left, to lift restrictions to the Management Console Sap-in.
If nothing helps, see if you can reinstall the Management Console from
Add-Remove programs in the Control Panel.


Recommended security applications:
Antispyware-antitrojans
A-squared free
Malwarebytes anti-Malware
Spyware Terminator
Super antispyware
Adaware 2008

For online scans, should you need to run any, type on the google search
engine: "online security scans", "online antivirus scans" & "online
antispyware/antitrojan scans"

Hope this helps.

Correction: That's not a registry fix from Kelly's Korner but a page full of
similar fixes which you may find to technical to bother.

Another possible cause could be a stopped service: Go to Control Panel \
Management Tools \ Services \ and check if the Windows Management
Instrumentation Driver Extensions Service is running.

Go to Start Button \ Run \ and type "regedit" (w/o quotes) and hit Enter.
Next follow the registry path, and check if your values are the same. Any
difference could mean the cause.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820}]
@="Windows Management and Instrumentation"
"AppId"="{8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820}"
"LocalService"="winmgmt"

Another correction: It's this service instead of the previous.

Windows Management Instrumentation Service
