Vista - computer management wont start!

As the title says Computer management in Administrative tools refuses to start.
I double click on the icon and it comes up with the UAC popup i click yes and then nothing happens. i tried it like a half hour ago and still nothing. someone please help!

Please someone help This is getting really annoying (the problem that is) Why so many views and no replies? Please Help Me!

hmmm you shouldn't really have any problems with accessing this.... unless your not an administrator!?
try right clicking and running as an administrator and see if that helps other than that i cant realy help with this one... however im sure brink, dmex or someone ells may be able to help you later on however a little patiance will be required as they could be at work
remember this site is run by people in there spare time as are most other sites!

Try click start > run

type compmgmt.msc > press enter

See if that will launch it.

thanks alot for your time.
@ripbox
yes my account is an administrator all the accounts on this computer are
and i have already tried running as admin and it does what it always does, the UAC prompt comes up and the i can see the mouse loading thingy, and then nothing

@ acadamis2000

once again thank you for your time.
and i tried your suggestion but just the same as above i get the UAC and then nothing.

ill just wait a bit and see if anyone else has any ideas.

BTW does anyone think that a virus might have done anything because we did have a virus a few days ago but that is now gone.

thanks again for everyones help!!!

Hello Braydon, welcome to Vista forums!

What firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware are you using?







Later Ted

hehe what's the betting it was Norton.... its gotta be..... Norton seems to be a virus magnet more than anti virus

well if it is my recommendation is to completely un-install Norton and start again with the likes of.... avast anti virus and comodo firewall
they are both free

thnx for your replies
@ripbox
surprisingly its not Norton anti-virus its Bigpond security Suit not surprisingly From Bigpond Broadband im not sure of the manafactureer though sry
@ bare foot kid
my firewall is at the moment microsoft but i can make it the bigpond one though. and anyi spy-ware is lso bigpond.

Hi,
Click Start, Run and type: regsvr32 msxml3.dll

EDIT:
Well, i saw in another post that you have shutdown problems, then run the command prompt as administrator and type:
sfc /scannow
Once finished, type in:
findstr /C:"[SR] Cannot repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt
Open the sfcdetails.txt (in system32 folder) and have a look which files cannot be repared (if any)

hey thnx for the quick reply but when i enter that in this is what i get.....

sry da capture didnt go in ill upload it in a minit

hopefully here it is
