Rt. click on MyComputer, Manage Fails!
Help! I have 2 xp systems that have the following problem.
Whenever i right click on my computer and click manage, i get the following message:
Windows cannot find '(null)'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search.
I can go to start, run and run the compmgmt.msc snap-in so i know it works. but from the right click menu it is broke!?
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? i have checked all the paths in the registry and all seems right. I also know it used to work and sometime broke. I'm just not sure how or what program broke it.
Thanks for any help.

what i would do......
what i would do is make sure that the cd that windows xp is on is not a burned copy. if you have a burned copy i would reinstall first. then if still dont work i would go buy the copy from the store.
i have xp and when i right click i dont have an option that says manage.
do you have xp home or professional.
sorry this dont help too much but i need more info.

Mine works fine for me, so i'm not sure what is wrong with it. what i would do is re-format the hard drive(if you have a Maxtor, d/l Powermax on maxtor.com and put it on a floppy), then it should work, if it doesnt i dunno what to tell ya. If it does work, reinstall everything, one at a time and see if it works after installation. Thats all i can think of, hope it helps!
