RE: wmi

On checking to Knowledge Base the problem seems to be mainly related to PC's
with Server2003 installed, I presume you are not running that OS, there are a
couple relating to XP, but nothing on Vista.
Which version Vista are you running?
Provide PC details, please
Had you installed any new programs recently, before message appeared?
Have not got answer just yet but will investigate further, and get back to
you!!
Is your PC generally operating OK, once it starts up?
On the other occasions it requires a 'hotfix", not absolutely sure yet wiil
be in touch.

If advise given from anyone, solves problem or not, or if solved from
another source,post back & let us know.
Then we all benefit.

Re: wmi

I asked what you did before this started happening. I meant before the
series of errors started appearing. Had you installed a new program, a new
driver etc. I would try a system restore to before the problem started and
see if it goes away. If not you can roll back to your current restore
point. You can look in the startup programs and uncheck any programs that
you recently installed. Type msconfig in your start menu search box and
select msconfig.exe then look at the startup items

anything I've done at all recently, I can't think of anything, besides doing
the normal McAfee updates, Windows updates etc etc.

Re: wmi


Sorry for being so defensive. I just took what he said the wrong way. I
assume things too much and speak (or type) before I think. Sorry for being
rude and I appreciate people trying to help me.

Try rebuilding your wmi repository

ie the final procedure on this page...

Repairing and re-registering the WMI
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairwmi.htm

ie the procedure from this line onwards
"On other versions of Windows you can rebuild the Repository by doing the
following"...


You'll need an elevated cmd.exe in Vista (ie 'Run as administrator' via
right-click) for the service stopping / starting

Well, truth is... you were far less insulting than many of the regular
Anti-Vista, Anti-MS crowd that hang here just to sow FUD and promote their
personal agendas.

Heaven knows when one is experiencing a problem with their PC, whether it be
OS, hardware, or software related (and to those obsessive geeks: yes, I know
OS's are software..), then it's easy for one to become frustrated and
perhaps a tad brusque when responding. Thass OK in the long run. (And, yes,
I meant to type "thass.")

I admire your quick acknowledgement.

I see that this thread has continued and you've gotten further suggestions.
I hope your problem gets fixed and that you post the high level points of
what fixed it. (I.e., "rebuilding the wmi repository fixed my problem"...
not how to rebuild the wmi repository...)

Best of luck!

Lang

screen.
