Dear Sir / Madam:

The following error message started up about 2 months ago. I noticed it
when I usually run Group Policy Editor from the Powertoy TweakUI. The error
message is as follows:
"Snap in failed to initialize" Name Group Policy
CLSID {8FCOB734-AOE1-1101-A7D3-0000F87571E3}

I don't recall ever customizing any snap in for the Group Policy Editor.
Does any expert out there know how to repair this? I would like to have a
working copy of my Group Policy Editor.

Thank you in advance for any expert advice and/or help you may be able to
provide me. It is much appreciated.

To add to the other post... if you still can't run the Group Policy MMC
manually via that method, then searching Google for the exact word for word
error message may help find a solution:
