I uninstaled through the contol panel/add and remove programs MS office then
windows. and this "catastrophe" occured .
When I run services.msc I get the following message."Microoft Management
Console" "MMC failed to initialize because it was installed incorrectly
or because a portion of the registry has become corrupted.Make sure the file
Mmcndmgr.dll is registerd by running
"regsvr32%Systemroot%\system32\Mmcndmgr.dll ".When I run above string on the
C prompt I get "The filename,directory name ' or volumelabel syntax is
incorrect.
Thanks for your help!
