Well I have the same issue: SSMS won't open any folder such as databases, security without this error: "Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' ...for the interface with
IID '{6D5140C1-7436-11CE-8034-00AA006009FA}'" I've tried everything and Management Studio just won't work. This happened (used to work) after adding .NET version 1.1, which another application had to have. I believe that messed with existing .NET 2.0 version, which is necessary for MSSQL 2008. Now I have a local instance of MSSQL 2008 running on my Windows 7 laptop, but no client utilities to connect to it, nor any remote server. All registry hacks found on i-net don't help.

Thanks! this helped solved my problem!
