I would be interested to see what ProcessMonitor shows. Have you done any modifications to the msc (xml) file?

[PC_LOAD_LETTER]

No modifications made to anything really. Its kind of pathetic how unmodified my OS is considering.

Ill definitely upload a PM log but that might be a little big. What kind of filtering should I apply in PM?

Run this, tell me if it opens properly. I might not know the cause, but I may know a solution.

%SystemRoot%\system32\CompMgmtLauncher.exe

If that file doesn't work, we just need to switch around a few registry settings to change the command that occurs when your Right-Click > Manage. Someone had the same problem last week and we changed the run code to this.

mmc %SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc

Yup. Nothing. even when run from an elevated command prompt.

OK that fixed it. I was almost hoping that didn't work. Hang on I have to take care of something:
