Closing Computer Management (MMC) creates an error: Application popup: mmc.exe
When I go into "manage my computer", the then close the window, I get the following message in the Event System Log:
Application popup: mmc.exe - Application Error : The exception unknown software exception (0xe06d7363) occurred in the application at location 0x7c812a5b.
I was working in the "device manager". I seem to be able to do what I need to do. It doesn't matter whether I use any of the tools in the MMC, I still get get the error simply by just opening and closing the console. It doesn't "remember" any screen resizing, I guess because it crashed.
This is very annoying. Has anyone seen this, or know how to stop it?

This won't help to explain why this happened, but you could download MMC 3.0 from Microsoft (assuming this isn't 3.0 already). Install it, and if no errors, call it a day...

This is an amazing solution. I was having problems with xp hanging. I ran virus scans, spyware check, etc. When I decided to do a system restore, the machine never came back from a endless loop, "crashing" back to rebooting as if I had pressed the "reset" button. I was not able to find a solution to my problem. I tried all the tricks I could muster in the Recovery Console. Therefore, I had to reinstall the o/s.
I have a Matrox Perhelia 128 card for my dual monitors. I downloaded the latest matrox drivers. I checked the "Automatically save/restore window positions", not giving it a lot of thought - seemed like an option I should have. Do you know why this option is blowing my MMC? It would have taken me a lifetime to finally drill down to the PowerDesk, or possibly never related PowerDesk to MMC.
Thanks for you insight and experience. It has saved me much time that I can use to get this system back together.
