"Access denied" query

[Guest]

As sole user /administrator of XP Home, I was puzzled when trying to collect
some system information (running MSInfo32), to see the notice, "Access denied
to Windows Management Instrumentation server on this computer. Have an
administrator changer your access permission."

The first thing I did was go fo Safe Mode, click Administrator and run the
MSinfo32 again, but had the same answer. I also had trouble installng some
Google programs because of "lack of permission."

Tried the FAQ's etc, but can't find any solution. Any help? Many thanks.

If you have SP2, the DCOM Server Process Launcher service MUST be running
for
msinfo32 to work, or else you'll get that error message.


[["Can't collect information Access denied to Windows Management
Instrumentation server on this computer. Have an administrator change your
access permissions."

Suggestions and Checkpoints:

Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down to: Windows
Management Instrumentation and make sure the Service is set to Automatic.

Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: net stop winmgmt. Then delete the
%windir&\system32\wbem\repository directory. Once done go back to
Start/Run/CMD and type in: net start winmgmt

If that doesn't help, try this:

Open a Command Prompt and type "winmgmt /clearadap" to clear prior
WMI/resyncperf information from the registry.
Then type "winmgmt /resyncperf" to register the system performance libraries
with WMI again.]]

Many thanks. I tried both choices, they registered fine, but I still get the
same message. I don't have SP2, because some time ago, I installed it, and it
seemed to interfere with several programs (I don't remember which). Perhaps I
should try that again.

Did you delete the
%windir&\system32\wbem\repository directory?

I had a problem with WMI, I also had a problem deleting
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository. I had to run Error Checking
(Chkdsk.exe). And then try to delete the files.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem\Repository

Thanks again. Yes, I deleted the repository. But I did it by going into
Explorer and deleting it from there, since nothing else seemed to work. This
is really a minor problem, and I don't have Service Pack 2 installed, so
perhaps it is insoluble. But thanks much for trying
