MMC stopped working

This doesn't seem to be a unique problem but I haven't fund the solution.

When I try to open Hardware Manager and other select MMC snapins I get a
dialog that Microsoft Management Console stopped working.

I've run SFC as Administrator and SFC finds a corrupt MMC.EXE (apparently a
Hash problem) but is unable to fix the problem. Is there a fix that can be
applied to get the console running?

I can see there's been a massive amount of replies to this question. I'm
getting
somewhat of the same when I go to open Diskkeeper 2008. It used to work, but
now I get this thrilling message, "Microsoft Management Console has stopped
working" ...
Is it possible for anyone on here to give a fix for this? Thanks!

there is a hot fix from widows that fix this problem like a charm

When I tried to open Device Manager or the Computer Management window, I received an error message: "MMC cannot open the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc"
