MMC cannot open file

I seem to have lost the Microsoft Management Console in my Vista Home Premium
edition. I get the following message when I try to open the Reliability &
Performance Monitor in Administrative tools:

"MMC cannot open file C:\windows\system32\performon.msc

This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was
created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have
sufficient access rights to the file"

I am the administrator and it also happens when I try to open other folders.

Can anyone offer any advice please

Many thanks

Some of the MMC snap-ins are not available in the home versions of Vista,
but the Reliability and Performance Monitor should be available?

Go to Start and type perfmon and see if the Perfmon.exe file shows up in
the results. If it does, right click the file and select the Run As
Administrator option to open the program.

Let me know what happens.

Hi Ronnie

Done as you suggested but perfmon does not show up. If I type in perfmon.exe
in the OPEN box in RUN and try to open as an administrator I get the same
message as before:

"MMC cannot open file C:\windows\system32\perfmon.msc

This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was
created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have
sufficient access rights to the file"

My computer is an ACER 5630 laptop that I bought in March with VISTA
pre-installed so I don't have the programme on disc.

I too am extremely frustrated to learn that MMC seems to be missing!?!? Now
that I've had my HP laptop for about a month I inevitably want to tweak some
finer settings, only to discover that none of my .msc files can be opened (in
most cases, don't even get an error message, it just does nothing). I also
checked my "Default Programs" and sure enough, under Set Associations this
file extension is correctly identified as Microsoft Common Console Document,
but the default application is "Unknown Application". I have searched high
and low and cannot find any way to download MMC for Vista. I am also running
Vista Home Premium.

Is the file C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe (Microsoft Management Console) on
your computer? If so, using Set Associations, can you reset the association
for Microsoft Common Console Document to that file?

If the file is missing, try the System File Checker, by right-clicking on
Command Prompt (Start Menu\Programs\Accessories), and choosing Run as
Administrator. At the prompt, type:

sfc /scannow

Press enter on your keyboard. The scan may take awhile.

Definitely no mmc.exe in System32, however yesterday I did find an mmc.exe in
the following path:
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-m..-management-console_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_0d3c8 91478b72de6

I did the file association to .msc and still no good, in fact when I tried
to launch the mmc.exe directly I got a pop up error "<path>mmc.exe is not a
valid win32 application" so I assume this is a legacy version of it from XP
or older that is just left over as part of the Vista image.

As for System File Checker, I do not have anything called that in my start
menu (also searched my C: and tried to execute sfc/scannow from the Run
Command (Win key-R)). I do however have System Information and System
Restore under System Tools in Accessories. System Information will open
fine, but System Restore prompts me to continue, I say yes, and get an error
messgae pop-up:
SearchProtocolhost.exe - Application Error
The exception unknown software exception (0xc06d007e) ocurred in the
application at location 0x772cb09e.

Type Command Prompt in the Start Search box of the Start Menu. Right-click
on the result, and choose Run as Administrator. At the prompt, type
(exactly as shown; note the space):

sfc /scannow

This launches System File Checker. It will use the mmc.exe file you saw
under C:\Windows\winsxs\ to repair your System32 folder. After the repair,
if necessary, you can reset the association for Microsoft Common Console
Document by pointing it to C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe (do not point it to
the file under C:\Windows\winsxs\).

OK - did that and the result in the cmd prompt was "Windows Resoruce
Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them." I still
have no mmc.exe in my System32 folder and cannot open an number of features
in Control Panel. I zipped the CBS log and it is approx 1.2 MB if there is a
way I can upload it, would it be useful to look at?

Rather than upload your entire log, try this. Open Command Prompt again
(use the shortcut in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories)
(Run as Administrator), and type:

cd desktop

Press Enter on your keyboard. Then type (or Copy and Paste) at the prompt:

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

Press Enter. Sfcdetails.txt should then appear on your Desktop. This will
glean the SFC info from your CBS log. Copy and paste the contents of
sfcdetails.txt in your reply to this post.

Hi

Have been away for a few days but on return I have had simlar problems to
Shawn. Have tried all Dean's suggestions. Am able to open the MMC console but
it was empty. Tried to add snap-ins from the Add/Remove snap-in list but once
added it would not allow me to Save them. Ran the system checker and here is
the SFC info from the CBS log.
