I have not been able to get into system devices in quite some time now. Every time I go into control panel and try to get into system devices I get an error message stating that MMC Microsoft managment console needs IE5.1 or later when in fact I have IE6...same problem MARIO was having..did not see a solution posted.

    When I try to run "devmgmt.msc" from the run command I
    get mmc error "mmc requires internet explorer 5.5 or
    greater to be installed" and when I press ok it
    disappears. Basically I cannot access Device manager to
    check the hardware or to access to registry..
    ran: sfc /scannow no errors detected

    Without knowing specifically to address that problem, I can only recommend a Windows "repair" installation. But maybe someone else knows an easier solution.

    Download and install the ie60.exe IE6 redistributable package from here.

    is it necessary to uninstall IE7 prior to installing this download?

    Thank you..That did the trick. I the the problem may have been the result of installing DIskkeeperLite.
