It is very annoying, i used to get this in Win 9x w/ the MMC 2.0's. The way i fixed it is remove everything. Drivers and software, and redo the installation over again. Go to add/remove, and remove both the drivers and the MMC, then go to ssytem's and make sure it's removed there. Check the Registry and remove it there. Then restart, and reinstall everything from scratch. Worked for me, but not sure if it'll work for you. Just my 2 cents.
