If I understand correctly, I think you are running into the following.

There were registry data changes in OpenAFS at some point in order
to fix a memory leak.  The data have to do with saving Server Manager
display customizations.  Blow away the saved customizations and you
will be back in business.

I forget where they are, but a quick look makes me think it's here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TransarcCorporation

There is some versioning code in the software to handle this stuff
but WindowsMan (Jeff Altman) has higher-priority things to work on and
I never took the time to figure it all out and submit a patch.
