WinMgmt.exe has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows. You will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created. What does this mean and
how do I get rid of it?

Sharon,

This behavior can occur if files in the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder become corrupted. The error
message appears repeatedly because Winmgmt.exe polls the files every 30 to
60 seconds.

To resolve this behavior, delete and then re-create the files in the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder:

1. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.

2. Under Services and Applications, click Services, and stop the Windows
Management Instrumentation service.

3. Delete all of the files that are in the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder. (Make a backup copy before you
delete the files.)

4. Open Services and Applications, click Services, and then start the
Windows Management Instrumentation service. The files are recreated when the
service restarts based on the information provided in the following
registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM\Autorecover MOFs
