Fatal Error when clicking on Services and Applications in Computer Management

This error came about when upgrading to MS SQL 2005 on a Windows 2003 SBS R2 Server from MS SQL 2000 on SBS 2003. During the process of upgrading we encountered a blocking condition which made us fully uninstall all instances of MS SQL 2000 Standard and the 2005 Desktop Engine.

To get this error we need to go to Computer Management and click on Services and Applications.

Fatal Error
—————————
Execution cannot continue as the language dependent resource file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\3081\sqlmmc.RLL could not be loaded.

OK

After clicking on the OK button it appears that everything works correctly but it’s still annoying for the client and myself.
To get rid of this error I found a copy of sqlmmc.dll in the folder “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn” and copied it to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\3081\ (I had to create the 3081 folder) and renamed the file extension to .rll.

The error has now disappeared.

Double Clicking C drive gives an “Open With…” Dialogue list.

This issue is most certainly the byproduct of a virus hitting your system and subsequently being cleaned by an anti-virus product. I strongly suggest you do a full system scan in safe mode with your anti-virus security suite of choice with virus definitions updated before doing anything else.

To fix the Open with issue you will need to open a command prompt window by clicking the start button then run and typing “cmd” into the run box and click on Ok

cdriveopen1

In the command window type in the following commands “cd \” to take you to the root of the c drive. Then “attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf” then “del autorun.inf” as shown below. This will delete the Autorun.inf  on the hard drive placed there by the virus or malware.

cdriveopen2

Now to reset windows so it will open your drives without the “Open with…” message you need to run the command “regsvr32 /i shell32.dll” in a run window and click Ok.

After a few moments you will get a message stating “DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shell32.dll succeeded.”
