MSINFO32 error

J Lunis

Win XP SR2
Tried running MSINFO32.
Received a response
"CAN'T COLLECT INFORMATION"
"Cannot access the Windows Management Instrumentation software.
Windows Management files may be moved or missing."

Within 'Services,' WMI shows it is running.
How do I resolve this?
FWIW, running services.msc results in . . . nothing. No apps appear to
start. No errors. nutin.

Hi Lunis,
One of the services or its dependencies not started in the services.msc
control panel, so try to start the WMI and it's dependencies.
