how to enter #PRAGMA AUTORECOVER in mof files

[John]

I have a recurring WMI error 10 report. I have tried what I can find, and
understand, from web searching. I tried recompiling the MOF file but had a
number of reports ending "To include this MOF file when the WMI Repository
is automatically reconstructed, place the #PRAGMA AUTORECOVER statement on
the first line of the MOF file."
I have open one of the files using notepad and indeed it didn't have #PRAGMA
AUTORECOVER. But the file is clearly locked and I am unable to save the
amended mof file.
I would be grateful for how to carry out these amendments to so as to see
if this does solve the WMI error. But I am not too expert at this things so
please make it "simple". Thanks.

I would stop the WMI service, and edit the MOF, and restart the WMI service.
From a command prompt:
net stop wmimgmt
<edit MOF>
net start wmimgmt

Thanks fro reply. Regrtably all I get is at the comand prompt
C:\Users\John laptop>net stop wmimgmt
System error 1060 has occurred.

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

It sounds like Malware has stopped your RPC service. I would do a scan for
an invader.

Mark I will scan with Spybot and when able spyware dr. The latter is running
as a service and does a itelli-scan daily so will do a deep scan tomarrow!

 

[John]

"I have looked under services and it looks as if WMI is on manual, is this
right?

 

[Mark L. Ferguson]

Not usually, click start to see if automatic would work

Tried comand and same result. Tried to start it and C:\windows\system32>net

The service name is invalid.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.

2185

C:\windows\system32>2185
'2185' is not recognized as an intoperable program or batch file.

Spybot found two trackers only.

the /salvagerepository switch should have functioned without the
modification of any MOF files if the service will run. I would leave the
service running and try the command again, from a Command Prompt (rightclick
the icon, to 'run as administrator')

winmgmt /salvagerepository

I'm suspecting a corrupt system file. have your tried SFC /SCANNOW ? (takes
a while to run unattended)
Some Windows Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop

Am also lost as to why it keeps repeating intell when I have an AMD chip?

 

[Mark L. Ferguson]

If your original media cannot replace a system file, I would suspect damage
to the original media disk. I would try to find a new copy of the setup
media. (AMD uses Intel architecture (x86) )

Located on line a replacmdent file,
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/130824-chkdsk-will-not-run-startup-vista.html,
and copied it as instructiions. But is this not for chkdisk not the problem
I started with?
net stop wmimgmt still gets the same errer!

Thanks, yes I should have but it was an after thought on the log.

 

[Mark L. Ferguson]

SFC cannot repair your original media file. It reported it corrupt the last
time you ran sfc.

2008-12-06 19:02:37, Info CSI 00000031 [SR] Cannot
repair member file [l:22{11}]"autochk.exe"

You will need a good copy of original media for SFC file replace. It's
possible your SP1 update has a bad copy. I do not know if SP1 replaces
autochk.exe or not.
