No guarantees that this would fix it though as I'm not sure what's causing
the problem.

I was not able to see the "Network Identification Tab" or get access to
event logs by going through safe mode.

This all happened when deleted old files like these {in order to
reclaim space}$MSI31Uninstall_KB893803$[on windows 2000 server] I
cannot remmber the exact naming.

Any ideas to what to do next?[dont have backups to fall back on- even
if we did wouldnt know what files to bring back]

Are you able to run MMC.EXE or EVENTVWR.MSC directly from the system32

Nancy,

When I enter start>run>MMC that snap window doesnt pop up as usual.

I did some system updates not too long ago; I had one update that kept
coming so I
stopped autoupdate service and removed WindowsUpdate.log and
SoftwareDistribution folder and restarted the autoupdate service. The
"MS Access update" stopped appearing. Maybe no relation to this problem
I have.

Hi Joe,

Safe mode loads windows with the minimum it needs to run.

You would then need to have a look at the software you have installed to see
what might be causing the problem.

Some information that might help:

*Have you ever been able to access the file? If so, when?
*Are you able to open other snap-ins? (Event Viewer is an MMC snap-in).
*Have you installed any software or updated anything lately?

That should narrow down where to start looking ... i.e. if you could open it
2 weeks ago but can't now, what has changed in the last two weeks.

Let us know how you make out.
