Crash of Enterprise Manager, strange solution

Hi,
Every time I try to use enterprise manager it suddenlly crashes.
The server is on, I can access it in other ways but without using
enterprise manager.
I removed sqlserver from the system, and installed it again.
I also installed the service pack 4.
I made many attempt to solve the problem.
At last I renamed the file "C:\Program files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\BINN\SQL Server Enterprise Manager.MSC", double click
et voila EM runs well again.
Does anyone know why?
Thanks
Massimo

Hi

I presume copying the MMC back to the original file name MMC still fails? In
which case MMC there must be some configuration information linked to the
file name.

I think so. Where are those informations?

Hi

I would have expected it to be in the registry, but searching it didn't seem
to turn up anything!
