mmc

I have Window 2003 server with AD installed. The file server is used to share the folder across network.

However after 1 hour suddenly I can't access my share - it asks me the password and then when I enter it it does not allow me, and say access denied.

When I try to open mmc.exe on server it says:

The application has failed to start because MS.dll was not loaded

How can I fix this problem? Can I re-install MMC?

So I'm writing a snapin for MMC 3. Quite often I have the debugger attached and I'm stepping through some code. MMC has some kind of a fail safe for misbehaving snapins that automatically unloads them after a timeout. The message is 'This snap-in is not responding'. After that MMC can behave as though… >>> More
