This is what I got when I typed in what you said...
Running 32-bit and 64-bit snap-ins in Win64Microsoft 64-bit operating
systems can run both 32-bit MMC (MMC32) and 64-bit MMC (MMC64). MMC64
cannot run 32-bit snap-ins, and MMC32 cannot run 64-bit snap-ins. This
topic describes how to determine and control which version of MMC is
executed in a Microsoft 64-bit operating system.
MMC can be executed with command line parameters, such as a console
file name. Additionally, the following command line switches are
recognized by MMC64.
/32
/64
If both of the preceding switches are specified on the command line,
then the far right switch is in effect.
Start-up considerations if /32 or /64 is in effect.
If MMC64 is started with no command line parameters, or if MMC64 is
started with the /64 command-line option, it executes as the MMC64
application. If MMC64 is started with the /32 command-line option,
MMC32 is launched, using the same parameters initially passed to MMC64
(except the /32 command-line option), and MMC64 will terminate.
Start-up considerations if a console file is specified.
If the MMC64 command line does not contain a /32 or /64 command-line
option, but the command line does contain a console file name, then
MMC64 examines the console file before determining which version of
MMC remains in execution. MMC64 uses the following algorithm.
If all snap-ins referenced by the console file are available in 64-bit
form, then MMC64 will remain as the executing version (the remaining
algorithm steps are not executed). A snap-in is considered available
in 64-bit form if it exists as an HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\snap-in
clsid\InprocServer32 key in the registry, where snap-in clsid is the
registered CLSID for the snap-in.
If not all snap-ins referenced by the console file are available in
64-bit form but all of them are available in 32-bit form, then MMC64
starts MMC32. MMC32 executes using the console file as specified on
the command line, and MMC64 terminates (the remaining algorithm steps
are not executed). A snap-in is considered available in 32-bit form if
it exists as a HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\snap-in
clsid\InprocServer32 key in the registry, where snap-in clsid is the
registered CLSID for the snap-in.
If the number of unavailable 64-bit snap-ins is a subset of the
unavailable 32-bit snap-ins, then MMC64 remains as the executing
version (the remaining algorithm steps are not executed).
If the number of unavailable 32-bit snap-ins is a subset of the
unavailable 64-bit snap-ins, then MMC64 starts MMC32 and MMC64 closes
(the remaining algorithm step is not executed).
If none of the previous steps yields a conclusion, then a user
interface is presented to the user, prompting the user to specify
which version of MMC to run (an option to cancel is also presented to
the user).
In any event where MMC64 fails to successfully start MMC32, MMC64
continues to run. After MMC32 has been successfully started by MMC64,
then MMC64 closes. If an error occurs after MMC32 has successfully
started, MMC64 is not notified, as it will have already been closed.
I really do not understand any of this.Can you help with this?
Which advice from this should I follow?
I updated to sevice pack 2=Bata version.I uninstalled the Bata.
Maybe that mixed things up???
Thanks again.
Snap-in failed to initialize
Have sence,patience,and self-restrain,and no mischief will come.
