related drive tag problem

[promicro]

hi again...

my previous drive label problem, I think, is related to another problem
i just found:

when i click on Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management i
now get the error message: 'Snap-In failed to initialize - Name: System
Information Extension'.

also, i seem to be loosing system and application files from time to
time, such as parts of MS Office which I have to re-install every other
time I use any of the Office apps.

I tried sfc /scannow and re-installing the support tools from the
Win2000 CD.

still can't get the support tools...

what else can I try, I don't wand to re-install Win2000.

thanks to all, Bob

You would appear to have a multitude of problems, judging from your posts.
Find the manufacturer of your hd, visit their site, download/create the
bootable floppy hd test utility
Visit www.memtest.org create the floppy test utility, run it over several
passes.

You can repair install winxp without, usually, impacting on your programs or
data.

I downloaded my hd utility and tested my drive and have no problems, but
I still have a problem with not being able to use my Computer Management
(Snap-in Failed). the only thing I know that will replace it is to do a
clean install of Win2000.

thanks, bob
