I am unable to start my Enterprise Manager. I get the following error message:
"Microsoft Management Console has encountered a problem and needs to close".
This is a SQL 2000 system.

This happened one day for no apparent reason. I use SQL Enterprise Manager
everyday. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the product and have the same
problem.

Help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi

Have you tried to run MMC on it's own and then open up the SQL Server
Enterprise Manager MMC?

Yes, I can start say Computer Management which uses the MMC and it opens just
fine. I can leave it open and then try to start the Enterprise Manaer and i
get the same problem. I am not sure if they use the same version of the MMC
or not.

Hi

You can therefore try and open the SQL Server Enterprise Manager.mmc from
the tools (or the tools/html) directory.

You could try copying the file from another machine and possibly renaming
it, if it continues to cause an issue.

I tried copying the MMC from another computer that can run enterprise Manager
and i had the same problem. Then I renamed it as you siuggested and now it
will run. That seems so strange. Any ideas why this works?

thanks for your help
john

Did you try to register a custom MMC ? Open Managment Console, File
Add/Remove Snappin, Add , SQL Server Enterprise Manager

Save the Console under a known destination path, try to open it from
this msc file.

Would be interesting if the problems occurs after creating this custom
console.
