Rune,

Thanks for the reply.
SMS has been working for 9 months. I forgot to mention that i had installed
FLEXADMIN from 3rd party. Then removed. I had forgotten this was probably the
last time that i had used sms.
Could this of removed files?

I have been using SMS on my machine for 9 months now. Since yesterday
(Nothing installed) The only thing I had done was reset my IE7 Internet
settings to default (But it cannot be that!!!!)

I am unable to view any collections / Packages / Queries.
When I double-click the collections folder it hangs (Hour-Glasses) for at
least 10 minutes and then stops with no Collections displayed.
This is happening for the other folders/functions mentioned above.
I have repaired removed and re-installed to no avail.
I have checked security with a colleague and I still have full control
for all areas
Our sms setup is sms2003 sp1 on windows 2003 servers. 1 Primary site 13
secondary sites.
Can anyone shed some light on any possibilities?

You may want to look at your dcomcnfg settings. Component Services ->
Computers -> My Computer - Properties. Check COM Security Tab for
appropriate permissions.

I've also seen this behavior when the Windows Firewall gets enabled.
