I messed up MMC, how to fix?

I'm trying to get the SUA package installed and working on a vista64
ultimate sp1. In the process I have somehow messed up the management
console (right click on My Computer, choose manage, and the program
fails to start).

How do I diagnose this problem and how might I fix it?

Seems some of the *.msc snap ins are loading. One that does not load
is compmgmt.msc. I recently installed SUA. I wonder if that messed
up something.

From command line type mmc, to get a blank console.

Then in the File meu, go to Option, and on the Disk Cleanup tab, press
delete files, to get rid of all the console configuration files. Try doing
that again from an elevated command prompt as well.

Does that fix it?

My 'Disk Cleanup' button is grayed out. What to try next? (And thanks
for your help.)
