MMC unable sav a snap-in

[Guest]

Windows XP Gold and SP1

It seems that I have lost the capability to bring up the Device Manager from
the Hardware tab of My Computer properties. When I try to do this, it says,
'Microsoft Management Console- The selected file cannot be found'. Any help
here as to what has happened and how to correct it?
Unable to save a MMC console file, when I create customized Console

Thanks in advance

Will the Device Manager open by...
Start | Run | Type: devmgmt.msc | Click OK

devmgmt.msc should be in C:\WINDOWS\system32

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Same error: MMC it is not to open the file Probably the file does not exist
or has been created from a successive version of MMC and also possible that
sufficient rights are not possessed in order to open the file.
And when I create a new MMC consul and I save it: Error impossible to save
the consul.

What is consul? And in what language?

The word you want is console.

[[CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the PATH environment variable does not include
the %SystemRoot%\System32\WBEM folder.]]

"Snap-in Failed to Initialize" Error Message When You Open Microsoft
Management Console
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;826282

[[SYMPTOMS
When you try to start Microsoft Management Console (MMC) with a snap-in on a
Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, MMC may not start and you may receive
the following error message:

MMC cannot open Snap-in Name. This may be because the file does not exist,
is not an MMC console, or was created with a later version of MMC. This may
also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.

Note In this error message, Snap-in Name is a placeholder for the name of
the MMC snap-in file, such as Compmgmt.msc.

CAUSE
This problem may occur when the following conditions are true:
* You configure the user of the %APPDATA% folder or you configure the system
environment variable to point to a location that is not available, such as a
network
* The Offline Files feature is turned off on your Windows XP-based computer.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, turn on the Offline Files feature on your
Windows XP computer. For additional information, click the following article

I have tried every solution but I have not resolved the problem. I can create
one new console and add a snap-in, but I cannot save it, and I cannot open no
console predefined in Windows XP
I have in variable in path and I don't use Offline Files feature
