There are two general approaches that may fix your problem. All of the
commands are typed in manually at a command prompt (Accessories menu). Run
as administrator.
Method 1:
winmgmt /verifyrepository
If WMI repository is reported to be inconcistent, run this command:
winmgmt /salvagerepository
Method 2 (force repository rebuild):
net stop winmgmt /y
cd %windir%\system32\wbem\
ren repository repository.old
Then restart

Windows Defender is Vista's anti-spyware program, not a firewall. Keep it
running, unless you experience any conflicts with your security suite (not
likely).
