Well, I used MS's Process Monitor to see what was going on when MMC.EXE was
executed, and it appears that there are several registry entries missing. I
tried to unregister the associated dll's, but got an error. I couldn't
register them either.
I'm going to try and fully uninstall SP2, then reinstall it to see if that
will reregister the files.
