Computer Management lockup on Windows 2000 Server

[blairmc]

I am running Windows 2000 Server and whenever I access the Computer Management snapin the system locks.

I cannot add or delete windows internet services or any other Computer Management addons.

How can I restart the system. I already tried to reinstall Windows but I do not want to have to reload all my other software.

Thanks

I am running Win2K Server on a AMD 900mz w/ 256mb ram, 80gb hard drive, etc. The problem is that any attempted changes to the Computer Management Console or uninstall of any of the Internet Services freezes until you kill the task.

I have tried to reinstall Win2K, but I do not want to reformat and reinstall.

How can I force a complete reinstall of internet services without interferring with all my other programs?

Maybe I will have to do a clean reinstall???????
