Clicking Plus Sign on Component Services Snap-in Does Not Expand Container

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

SYMPTOMS

If you start a new Microsoft Management Console (MMC) session and add the Component Services snap-in, nothing happens when you click the plus sign (+) to expand the container and view its contents. The plus sign disappears, but the contents of the container are not displayed.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, double-click the Component Services container itself, not the plus sign.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem occurs only in a new MMC session with the Component Services snap-in added. This problem does not occur with a saved console or when you use the Comexp.msc administrative tool.
