AIM 6.5 causes audio loss and WMI corruption

[Jonathan Yaniv- Windows Live Butterfly Expert]

After installing AIM 6.5, these issues are being reported with users:

1. Vista Displays a Red X saying that its not connected to a Network even
though it is.

2. Connection may say "Connection status: unknown. Server execution failed."

3. WMI is corrupted

4. Windows Media Player won't be able to play Mp3s

5. No sound can be heard from computer

6. Windows Security Center reports errors

Only problem I had, was "No sound can be heard from computer"


To fix the problem:

go to run type (in elevated mode)then enter this and hit enter



net localgroup Administrators LocalService /add

Now, go to Programs and Features, and uninstall AIM 6

Now reboot

it fixes the media player problems and the red x but aim corrupted everyones
wmi


To fix the WMI is a different story, you will have to do some research on
that

Update:

Here, is how to fix WMI

open up a notepad and paste this in it

@echo on
cd /d c:\temp
if not exist %windir%\system32\wbem goto TryInstall
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
net stop winmgmt
winmgmt /kill
if exist Rep_bak rd Rep_bak /s /q
rename Repository Rep_bak
for %%i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %%i
for %%i in (*.exe) do call :FixSrv %%i
for %%i in (*.mof,*.mfl) do Mofcomp %%i
net start winmgmt
goto End

:FixSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemcntl.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemtest.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (mofcomp.exe) goto SkipSrv
winmgmt /RegServer

:SkipSrv
goto End

:TryInstall
if not exist wmicore.exe goto End
wmicore /s
net start winmgmt
:End



then your going to save that as wmifix.cmd and run it

if it asks you if you want to stop the services your going to type y

Microsoft PSS has been contacted about this issue, and is investigating

So if you are having these problems, first try "net localgroup
Administrators LocalService /add" in elevated mode and remove AIM 6.5, then
reboot.

This worked and seemed to have solved my problem. But now, should i undo the
"net local group Administrators LocalService/add" command? and if so, how?

Thanks.
