Computer management

When I try to open Computer Management (compmgmt.msc). I get the following message. "MMC cannot open the file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\COMPMGMT. MSC.
It is perhaps because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. Perhaps it is also because you don't have sufficient access to the file.

The files in the \windows\system32 directory and I connected with the admin. rights.

This is the only administrativetool that seems to not work, all the others are fine. Any help would be appreciated. If you need more info please let me know.

Thank you in advance... Lou

  • Just as a reference: how to FIX the annoying 'White Screen Of Death"with Silverlight and"Access denied"error with computer management.

    Well, I just hope that someone who has met these two mistakes will find my dose. It might save a lot of pointless research on the net.

    SYMPTOMS:
    -When you try to open a Silverlight application in your browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc), your browser displays only a white area. When you right click on the white area, you can click on the Silverlight properties.
    -If you try to start "Computer management" by clicking on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage', you get the following error: 'access denied '.

    CAUSE:
    The following errors are usually the result of a bad environment variable. In this case the "windir" environment variable does not work correctly. You can try running the management of the computer to start > run and entering:
    %windir%\system32\mmc.exe/s %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

    Notice the between the characters of percentage windir environment variable. If you run the above code, you will probably get an error saying that MMC cannot open the file. Look closely at the path, it's back!
    You will probably find any % somewhere.

    What actually happened here is the variable windir made reference to another variable: systemroot
    Why this creates problems, I'm not sure. Also, I don't understand what made then variable windir change.

    SOLUTION:
    -From your desktop or Explorer: right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties".
    -Click on the "Advanced" tab and then click "Environment Variables".

    http://pcauthorities.com/images/advanced-system-properties-XP.jpg

    -Did the windir variable. Together to "C:\Windows" do not think that it is already set to "C:\Windows", because windows then tells you. Double-click it to know for sure.

    -See, I told you! Change this to "C:\Windows".

  • How to access the computer management?

    Original title: computer management concole restricted by policy
     

    How to enable access to the concole menagement computer which is limited by the policy snap-in?

    Hi Nikola Dragutinovic,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems that you do not want to activate the computer management console, which is limited by the policy snap-in. I'll be happy to help you with this problem.

    The setting of group policy to restrict users to the explicitly permitted snap-ins list lets you selectively enable or disable the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. However, before enabling this setting, you must activate the settings in the folder "restricted/permitted snap-ins" software snap-ins MMC that you want to use.

    I suggest you to follow the steps from the link and check if it helps.

    You must enable explicitly pluggable MMC that you want to use before you enable the group policy setting "Restrict users to the list of snap-ins explicitly allowed" in Windows XP and Windows Vista

  • Computer management does not work

    When I right click on computer and select "Manage", nothing happens. Similarly, when I click on Administrative Tools > computer management, nothing happens. I also tried to activate the management of the computer to c:\windows\system32\CompMgmtLauncher.exe. Yet once, nothing happens. How can I get the computer management to run? I have Vista Home Premium SP2.

    Try to enter compmgmt.msc in start / search box and enter.  Double-click the program icon that appears and see if it opens.  I doubt that it will work if clicking on the executable file did not work, but it's worth a try.

    We will check some of your system files:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to fix some system files.  If all goes well, it will finish without any error, it could not repair (if these errors occur, post here).

    While you're in prompt type chkdsk /f /r command and enter and let it run.  It will search for and fix/mark bad sectors (and management of computer files can be in a bad sector that can be moved unless it is irreparably damaged).

    Are you sure that the problem is limited to the management of the computer / have you tried to enter EventViewer or anyghing elsewhere in Services management tools?  Please try.

    You have a disk for Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or you can borrow one from ANYONE).  If none of these efforts works, our next logical step would be a repair system/upgrade and we need the disk to do so.  They are not protected against copying in order to use all copy with your own product key which governs the installed version.

    Let's see where this gives us.  Good luck and I hope this helps.  If she's not really try hard to get your hands on a disc. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers.

    My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers, most of the time.  Every now and then it will be visible and I can use it but 90% of the time it does not exist.  I tried the regedit fix, nothing.  I tried the program Microsoft Fix It, it tells me it cannot locate a DVD/ROM.  I removed, cleaned and reinserted my DVD/ROM drive, but no difference.  I tried everything, except the upgrade to Windows 7... who will be my last resort.

    Hello gargoyle28m,

    If your hardware is not detected to upgrade to Windows 7 is not a resolution. This issue may be caused if the DVD drive is faulty or connections loose on the mother board. You may need to check the connections. I suggest you check if the DVD drive works on another computer. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help you with this problem.

    Hello DMoneyPros,

    • What is the status of the hard disk in disk management?
    • Your external hard drive appears as a raw management disk or hard drive Partition?

    If the disk hard not not display in Windows Explorer appears in disk management, this means that the hard disk is raw and is not formatted?

    You should try to assign the drive letter of the hard disk in the disk management and check if it appears in Windows Explorer:

    Change the drive letter:

    1. open computer management by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-click computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. in the Navigation pane, click Disk Management.

    3. right click on the partition or drive that you want to change and then click on change drive letter and paths.

    4. to change a drive letter, click on edit, click on assign the following drive letter, click the letter you want to use and then click OK.
