WINMGMT.EXE PROGRAM ERROR

[Guest]

I get the following error message about every 20 seconds or so:

Program Error
WinMgmt.exe has genereated error and will be closed by Windows. you will
need to restart the program.

An erorr log is being created

Now, I've tried removing the winmgmt.cfg file in system32/wbem/repository
but that did't work.

Someone please help.

I was haviing the same problem. This solution worked for me:

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.

Hope this helps!
