Disk Defragmenter

[Guest]

I have installed the SP2 update and, so far, can no longer perform a disk
defragmentation.

When I run the program I get an error message stating:
MMC failed to initialize because it was installed incorrectly or because a
portion of the registry has become corrupted. Make sure the file Mmcndmgr.dll
is registered and running "regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\System32\mmcndmgr.dll".

I then go to Run and type:
regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\System32\mmcndmgr.dll

And I receive another error message stating:
"C:\WINDOWS\System32\mmcndmgr.dll" is not an executable file and no
registration helper is re registered for this file type.

The mmcndmgr.dll file does exist in the System32 folder. Can anyone help me
fix this problem and get my Disk Defragmenter to work again? If it's a
registry problem, where in the registry would I fix it and how? Or how would
I go re-installing the program if thats even possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

FWIW my copy of the file is version is 5.1.2600.2180 created 4 January 2003.
The file size is 1,192,960 and size on disk is 1,193,984. You should have
this version in your system32 folder with several copies in other locations.
This version replaces version 5.1.2600.1106.
