MMC snap in failures are usually caused by one of two problems:

1. Corruption of files for snap in. You can try doing a "repair" if you have the XP CDrom after you have tried a "System Restore" located in System tools. You may also try opening a command prompt and type, "chkdsk /f" and then hit enter. Then you respond "Y" enter to the question about do you want to run checkdisk at the startup. This will run check disk which sometimes fixes corruptions/disk errors. Of course, hardware failures such as a defective hard drive will also cause file corruption.

2. Malware. This is the most likely cause of MMC failure. Reformatting and reloading the operating system will delete malware. If you dont have the Windows CD, or even if you do, you can get a superior operating system at www.kubuntu.org and get "Feisty Fawn"
