mmc.exe - Application Error

[bnymk]

Hell all:

We have a windows 2k server that is hosting all our web development work. Since it's a development server, there are more than one person who is touching it and all of a sudden as of two days ago, we began having a problem with it. Namely, every time when we try to access the propreties of either the websites under IIS, or view event logs, or even open up any services from the Services control panel, we are getting an mmc.exe - applicatin error with the following message. "The instruction at "0x6be9d014" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". " Any idea on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

MMC is the microsoft management console. Go to the server and start>run>MMC.EXE and see if it crashes. It may have become corrupt. If so, look through your most recent updates for MMC (meaning the MMC has been updated by that patch). Uninstalling and reinstalling the patch should bring down a fresh copy of MMC.EXE for you.

Thanks for the response. I can bring up MMC from a command prompt and by doing Start>Run>mmc.exe. It doesn't crash unless I try to access the properties of the websites under IIS. The only thing that has happened to the server was that I removed FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 from it and a day later I began having these problems. Thinking it was caused by the removal of the FrontPage, I went ahead and re-installed the server extensions but that didn't fix the problem. Any other ideas?

My ISP has had similar issues with FrontPage extensions. Their webspace instructions state "if you add FrontPage Extensions, you cannot remove them. You must delete and rebuild the site." I've avoided them after reading that.
