Hi: I work on a Windows 2000 machine I use Remote Desktop to connect on a Windows 2003 Server R2 machine with SCCM installed. When i browse for Drivers on the network in the Console (to import a driver), sometimes ( i can't replicate it) the console crashes with this info: Error An error occured in ConfigMgr. The ConfigMgr console will continue to function, however you should save your work and restart the console. After restarting the console, verify that your last configurations have been applied. Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception. at System.windows.forms.UnSafeNativeMethods.Shell32.SHBrowseForFolder(BROWSEINFO lpbi) at System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog.RunDialog(IntPtr hWndOwner) at System.Windows.Forms.CommonDialog.ShowDialog(IWin32Window owner) at Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.DialogHelper.ShowDialog(Control parent, CommonDialog dialog) at Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.OsdCommon.BrowseFolderControl.buttonPackage_Click(Object sender, AventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m,MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindows.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) After i have this message i have to delete the adminconsole file in C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Application Data\Microsoft\MMC\, if i don't it crashes again, if i delete the file i can continue to work for a while. Does anyone knows what thriggers this error or a nice work around? Pleazze Pretty Pleazze?
