Question : Unable to load Local Users and Groups

In Computer Management under System Tools, the Local Users and Groups icon is marked with a red circle and a white X in the middle (which means there's an error with it).  On the right pane, instead of loading the users and groups, it gives me an error that says:

Unable to access the computer COMPUTERNAME.  The error was: Error loading type library\DLL.

Does anyone know why this error occurs.  Is it a corrupted DLL?  I don't even know the name of the dll it is trying to load.  How can I recover my local users and groups?

P.S. This is a Windows 2000 Advanced server machine.

Thanks.
