Microsoft Management console has Stopped Working

[Daiwik]

Hello , I have a big problem with the MMC (microsoft management console) my Computer tells me that microsoft management console can not open the file C:/windows/system32/devmgmt.msc as the the file may not exist, or is not an MMC console or was created by a later version of MMC. this issue may occur because you do not have sufficient rights to access to the file and when i tried to to open Microsoft Management Console, I am Getting Error Message that Say Microsoft Management Console has stopped working. Why i am getting this Error please help me Thank in advance

This problem can occur when a program that has an associated MMC snap-in, is removed and leaves an orphaned entry in the registry. To resolve this problem: Ignore the message in the Symptoms section and

1. click OK to start MMC.
2. Click Console.
3. Click Add\Remove Snap-in.
4. Click the orphaned snap-in. (The snap-in should not have an icon.)
5. Click Remove.
6. Click OK to close the Add\Remove snap-in window.
7. Save your changes to the console.

If the snap-in loads correctly,and You Are Still Having proble,then the .msc file that you were using to open the snap-in may have become corrupted. Save the console file that you created in the previous steps, and then use this new console file to open the snap-in.

1. To do this, follow these steps: On the Console menu, click Save As.
2. Type a name for your new console file, and then press ENTER.

If the snap-in does not load, review the product documentation for the program that uses the snap-in that you are having problems with.
