Re: error message and KB 823775

You can force an auto-recover of the default information stored in the
repository this way:

- open a command window (start > cmd.exe)
- type "net stop winmgmt"
- type "cd %windir%\system32\wbem"
- type "ren repository repository.old" (or alternatively delete it)

Then try your operation again. It may take a minute or so to complete while
WMI rebuilds the database.

Thanks for this, but I wasn't able to get a result. Can
you run through what I would expect to see on the screen?
IShouldn't the last line read "rem repository.....

I've tried the Microsoft way and after reinstalling SP1
my internet settings return with no WMI information.

Further help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike Redman

Did you try to put this in a batch file? That wasn't my original intent.
"ren" is the command to rename - maybe you're thing REM as in 'remark'
inside batch files.

Should look something like after you open a cmd window using startbutton >
run > cmd.exe:

C:\>net stop winmgmt
The Windows Management Instrumentation service is stopping.
The Windows Management Instrumentation service was stopped successfully.

C:\>cd %windir%\system32\wbem

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem>ren Repository Repository.Old

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem>

....done with cmd prompt here...

Now try to do the operation again. If your operation still fails, tell me
exactly what page you are loading and how you access it. - it might not be a
WMI issue in that case.

Thanks for sticking with me I am a bit of a novice!

I now get after the "net stop winmgmt" line ,
"System error 1060 has occurred. The specified service
does not exist as an installed service."
If I assume the programme is stopped and type ..."ren
repository repository.old" I get "Access denied."

Help,
Thanks, Mike (the bandit)Redman

Hi Phillip,
i've just rebuilt wmi in the registruy as the answer
above. "Not found".
i then started windows in safe mode and used your advice
to the letter instead of making up my own fix! Everything
is now fine and I've been able to rebuild my LAN. My son
is going to be happy as he can now kill his virtual
friends again. Thanks alot, plesae relax in the knowledge
that you have helped someone.
regards,
mike.
