UPDATE [6/19/2009]:  Below is my original fix for this problem however in the comments section frymaster provided an alternative.  I am no longer running Vista 64 so haven’t tested it but another user has confirmed it worked for him.

Try deleting this file:

%userprofile%\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\MMC\dsa

It will be recreated after you shut down your MMC console.

Thanks to frymaster for the update!
