MMC not working on Windows 2003

I had a problem with the MMC not working on Windows 2003. Originally, it had IE 5.5 but was upgraded to IE6, then to IE8.

I kept getting the error: "MMC will not run with a version of a Internet Explorer earlier than Internet Explorer 5.5".

Did some searching and found that there is a work around for this issue; create a string entry (REG_SZ) with the name Version and the value "6.0.0.0" under the subkey
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Works like a charm!

    I am running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 and have IE 9.0.9 installed, but Windows stills says that "MMC will not run with a version of Internet Explorer earlier than IE 5.5".

    What should I do?
