MMC problem

Yesterday, I was using SQL Server Enterprise Manager to run a Package. It
was taking a long time so I hit 'Cancel'. Since Cancel didn't do anything, I
used Task Manager to shut town the Enterprise Manager application.

From this point on, anytime I run an application via Microsoft Management
Console, and close the MMC interface, my screen goes completely blank and I
have to reboot. Even if I type 'mmc' via the command line, and close the MMC
GUI, I have to reboot.

Obviously, something or some system files got corrupted when I used Task
Manager to force MMC to close the first time. I can use everything else just
fine, but if I ever need to use something using MMC, I have to reboot when I
close the MMC interface.

I never made an emergency repair disk (we have a ghost image that I used to
install). Do you have any ideas of what I can do to repair this MMC problem
without reinstalling 2000?

Thanks,
Jason
 
You could try re-installing the admin pack tools
and see if this helps they are located in the I386 directory on the CD
or available in the extracted service pack files.
Adminpak.msi from the start run box will install them if the msi is local on
the computer c: drive.
