Windows Management Instrumentation corrupted

[krish]

When I check the properties of "Local Connection", the
Advanced Tab carries this message that Windows Management
INstrumentation information may be corrupted... it
instructs me to go back to a previous set point and blah
blah... I did all that, but could never get it back to
fix it. ALso I re-installed XP (In-place), but still
didn't fix it. ANy suggestions?

Thanks,
Krish.

1. open a command prompt
2. "cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem"
3. "mofcomp hnetcfg.mof"
4. If it succeeds, then try the advanced tab again. If it fails, keep
reading
5. Read the follow the instructions here:
