I have been reading the threads from way back where XPize is breaking the MMC console. I have had this problem since making my last UA CD some months ago, after I installed Ryans latest update pack and the new XPize. I have been dealing with this prob for a while now as it only affects me when I need to go to device manager for something. And now I need to go into Device Manager bad as hell to change the IDE ATA\ATAPI controller for this new HD I am going to swap from another computer.

I have tried every fix on the internet I guess, even downloaded & reinstalled MMC 3.0 I have seen quite a few discussions on it, but does anyone out there REALLY have a fix for this?

Thanks in advance!!!

Well, if you attempt to open Device Manager, or Computer Management window, you receive an error similar to: "MMC cannot open the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc."

This behavior may occur if one or more library files used by the Microsoft Management Console are missing or corrupted:

1. Msxml.dll

2. Msxml2.dll

3. Msxml3.dll

4. Msxml4.dll

What you've to do is to use a batch file amendmmc.bat which contains:

@echo Off
setlocal enableextensions
for %%v in (Msxml.dll Msxml2.dll Msxml3.dll Msxml4.dll) do call :reg_dlls %%v
goto :eof
:reg_dlls
@echo Registering %~nx1 . . .
regsvr32.exe %~nx1 /s
if errorlevel 0 @echo %~nx1 Registered Successfully.
if not errorlevel 0 @echo/DllRegisterServer in %~nx1 Failed.
goto :eof
endlocal & goto :eof

Hope it helps your cause.
