Hi!

Every time i try to run MMC (or running any program using an MMC snap-in
like SQL server 2000) in an account that is not member of the administrators
group, i get the error:

"MMC.exe Application error- the application failed to initialize properly
(0xc0000022) press OK to close".

>From what i can tell, this is some obscure way of telling me that i don't
have the permission for running MMC in this account.

Something must have been corrupted somewhere in this particular workstation
because MMC is working fine on any other computer when i'm logged with any
users.

I've searched the web and tried everything i know with no luck.

The Temp environment variable is there, the path is valid and the security
is ok.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
