Winmgmt.exe has errors.

[Guest]

every 30 to 60 seconds my Windows 2000 pro machine gets this error.

winmgmt.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will
need to restart the program

I have been searching for a fix for quite some time and so far have found
nothing. Please if you know the answer let me know.

Thanks!

I received this from another post in this forum and it fixed my error.

Right-click ‘My Computer’ and choose ‘Manage’ to open the Computer
Management tool.
Click on ‘Services’ in the list in the left-hand pane and then select
‘Windows Management Instrumentation’ from the list in the right-hand pane.
There are two entries for ‘Windows Management Instrumentation’ . You need to
select the main one, not the ‘Driver Extensions’ entry.
With the correct Service highlighted, click on the ‘Stop’ link which will
appear to halt the Service.
With the Service halted, use ‘My Computer to locate the folders
\Windows\System32\Wbern\Repository and \Windows\System32\Wbern\Repository\FS.
Delete all files in those folders.
Reboot to allow the service to be restarted and the necessary files recreated.

Thank you klange621!!!!
