I am trying to run Filemaker server 5.5 on a PC running Windows Server 2000. I set the application to launch automatically (it doesn’t) and I get the message:

“Snap-in failed to initialize

Name: Filemaker Server

CLSID: {8B1BF5E3-4F4D-11D2-84A9-006008B01131}”

on launching Filemaker Server Console for Windows 2000 (FMSCONSL.msc).

If it matters, I did install Server on my D: drive due to lack of space on my C: drive.

I will be updating to a ver 7 solution ASAP, BTW.

Any ideas out there?

what if you try to load it manually:

- start-> run -> type in "mmc" (without the quotes) and hit enter

- from the File menu: Add/Remove Snap-in

- click the Add button at the lower left corner

- browse for filemaker server and add it

- exit all the dialogs and try to work with the FMS snap-in
