Hello, I am unable to open Microsoft Management Console. I used to be able to but now I get the message:MMC has encountered a problem and needs to close. I access it by Control Panel/Admin/Performance. Thanks, Richard.

Go to start - run and type in mmc.

This should bring up a blank mmc console that you can add any snap-in to.

If this fails it's likely there is some file corruption with the mmc file itself which you should be able to fix by following the steps in This KB article

I started MMC from RUN. It opened and I added the snap-in but it wouldn't load. I got the same error message. Thanks, Richard

Which particular snap-in are you trying to load? Are any other snap-ins working?

is corrupt, or something else is running that is interfering.

try stopping unneeded services and then see if it works, if not then try running a repair on your Win files
sfc.exe /scannow
or copy a known good file from another system and over write yours. However, make sure that you are getting the same version (same service packs installed).

It's the Peformance Snap-in that causes the MMC to close. All the others are fine. Thanks, Richard.
