Hi,

I am getting this statement popping on the screen stating it stopped working. It was the first time I have seen it. It occurred when I was on Facebook, and played the game. I have not installed any softwares lately.

I just closed it and then it came back in 5 mins later. I then clicked to send it, and it came back mins later. It still pop in few mins later. What should I do?


Right now, I am defragging it and will restart it. Hope it will go away, but if it has not, then I will update it here.

Thanks for the help.

It is not working for me. I could not get it to come up at all.

I restarted the computer after defragged.

Right now, I am not getting the statement of WMI Provider Host appearing. Looks like it is going away and fine now. However, if it comes back, I will stop here to let you know.

Thanks again.
