vista mmc error

[kronoSX]

this errorI was online with 2 microsoft technicians and a MS research fool.They had a remote connection to my pc,but for the living daylightsthey cant fix that error.My avg8(paid version)also dont work and gives me an error to check event viewer but sadly eventsviewer is problem,an mmc problem.
There is a fix i think which i researched but there must be an easier way.
I tried thisfirst.

But got a little scared when they said you must go through the list to find the fault,you know what i wanted to cry,Have you seen a log file that is produced from that

which snap-in are you trying to add ?

 

[kronoSX]

event viewer

 

[kronoSX]

tried to copy the eventviewer files from another vista installation but the 2 files in system32 wont allow me to modify it.I done the ownership stuff but it seems that has made system32 a non modifying folder.

you also get the same problem if you start it from the run dialog box i presume. eventvwr.msc

 

[kronoSX]

yes i get the same error.I even tried to create a new account and in that one the same problem.
I guess a reformat is in order and reinstall sp1.
I dont know how to repair it ,even microsoft technicians dont know how,like i said they tried for 2 hours.
They have all my dumps and pc info and will get bak to me after analyzing.

goto love vista...

 

[kronoSX]

yes gotta love it.btw installing xp on my vista drive now as we speak...Finally i just had enough.After a year or so vista has always been giving me problems.Now i cant really blame the OS,its my fault to.I should really get my pc components vista compatible .

 

[Surv0]

afaik nothing is vista compatible, but thats just me being a vista pessimist...

 

[kronoSX]

it doesnt matter no more as i reinstalled vista.i now triple boot

I was going to suggest something like this but it doesn't apply to the event viewer.msc

Unregister then reregister the gpedit.dll file.
To do this, type these at a command prompt.
First, "regsvr32 /u gpedit.dll"
then, "regsvr32 gpedit.dll"

also another option might have been a system restore

 

[kronoSX]

system restore did not work in my case abd i think microsoft akready tried that unregister dll stuff,thanks again for the help
