i have vista ultimate 64bit and am having and issue opening device manager I get a message

MMC cannot open c:\windows\system32\decmgmemt.msc.

this may be because the file does not exists, is not an MMC console or was created be a later version of MMC. this may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.


now i am a administrator and the file does exist

any ideas

This issue may occur when one or more of the .dll files that are used by the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) are missing or corrupted:

   * Msxml.dll
   * Msxml2.dll
   * Msxml3.dll

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
  2. At the command prompt, type cd %windir%\system32, and then press ENTER.

     Note The %Windir% folder is the folder where you installed Microsoft Windows.
  3. Type the following commands, and press ENTER after each command:
     Regsvr32 Msxml.dll
     Regsvr32 Msxml2.dll
     Regsvr32 Msxml3.dll
  4. Type exit, and then press ENTER to close the Command Prompt window.
  5. Restart the computer.

then only do msxml3.dll. I imagine they posted all of those just to cover all the bases. A post I read one person posted a fix with just that file anyway so .....did you try it?
