Thanks very much for your response. The first article fixed my problem
with Device Manager in a snap (no pun intended). The MMC problem
persists. This is the message:
Snap-in failed to initialize.
Name:Performance Logs and Alerts Extension
I also still have my Recycle Bin problem that you tried to help me
with:
Ran Error Checking several times ... including the necessary reboots,
but I still have the problem. Any other suggestions?

I have not received a follow-up response to my earlier message and am
hoping a new message will get me some suggestions. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks for the response. I did what you suggested. Tried a delete and
got the same error message. I rebooted, just in case ... and still had
the same problem.
