I do not need a solution (just sharing information)
If you get an error 161 trying to open the console here is the solution:
Open regedit
Go to hkey current user
Go to software
Delete the Altiris Key, the whole thing.
Reopen console and it sets your preferences back to as if you just installed it for the first time.
Had 3 users with broken ghost consoles and it fixed all 3.
