| | 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. -- Regards Bob J 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 "Diana" <dber2007@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OnYC7KR7HHA.3624@xxxxxx Quote: > Oh yeah...like I said before.

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 -- Jon |

Sorry for being > rude and I appreciate people trying to help me. > 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!
