Snap in problems in Management Console

[Guest]

Snap in failed to initalize. CLSID:58221c67-ea27-11cf-adcf-00aa00a8033.

Is this something I can fix? Thanks.

Make sure that %SystemRoot%\System32\WBEM is in the PATH.

Note: %SystemRoot% is usually the same thing as C:\WINDOWS

I.e. %SystemRoot%\System32 = C:\WINDOWS\system32

Open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |
When the command prompt opens, type: path and then hit your Enter key.

It should look something like this...

PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem

There may be more items, but make sure that you see WINDOWS\System32\Wbem

Post back with what you find.
