Hello,
I have XP pro SP3. when I select the disk defragmentation utility an empty
window appears without any error message. I first ran the sfc /scannow
utility successfully completing it without any messages. I then researched
the XP support forum and tried to open the services.msc snap-in with the
following error message.
"MMC could not create the snap-in. The snap-in might not have been installed
correctly.
Name: Services
CLSID: {58221C66-EA27-11CF-ADCF-00AA00A80033}
Please advise how to correct this. Thank you in advance.
