hi there

i also met the same problem some time ago

for me it was a action of a virus

you can change a value of a registry file and after you may able to access dsa.msc

go to below registry key

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.msc   and in the right side, right click on the default and delete it. try after it whether you will able to access it or not.

please take a backup of your registry before you delete it.

thanks

Hi,

This could be caused by registry errors. You should download a good registry cleaner and install it. you can get one from here http://www.cnet.com/topic-software/registry-cleaner.html once you have downloaded it. Install the registry cleaner and scan your registry for errors. It should solve the problem. I hope this helped.

Regards,

Peter franklin
