Question : Closing Computer Management (MMC) creates an error: Application popup: mmc.exe

When I go into "manage my computer", the then close the window, I get the following message in the Event System Log:

Application popup: mmc.exe - Application Error : The exception unknown software exception (0xe06d7363) occurred in the application at location 0x7c812a5b.

I was working in the "device manager".  I seem to be able to do what I need to do.  It doesn't matter whether I use any of the tools in the MMC, I still get get the error simply by just opening and closing the console.  It doesn't "remember" any screen resizing, I guess because it crashed.

This is very annoying.  Has anyone seen this, or know how to stop it?

I would check to make sure you have your most recent service packs, running most recent anti virus...

Usually something like a video card driver or virus related that would cause something like this


I would scan the system using http://www.symantec.com online scanner and also http://pandasoftware.com   see if it comes up with anything


Do you have a Matrox video card ?
 if so you can try either of these two ways of resolving the problem...
try this

Go into Matrox PowerDesk-HF

Click on Desktop Management

uncheck "Automatically save/restore window positions"

or

use the 1.11.00.114HF drivers until updated drivers are available for your particulare card.
