WMI Error Message--HELP

[Guest]

I have a cable modem and Windows XP Home Edition. Continually (every 10-15
minutes) I get an error message: "WMI has encountered a problem and needs to
close." Most of the time, this is just an irritant; I close the error window
and keep going. But every so often the error will kick me out of my browser.

The error signature is as follows:
szAppname:wmiprvse.exe SzAppVer:5.1.2600.2180
szModName:kernel32.dll szModVer5.12600.2180 offset 0004b0df

I have a vague understanding of what WMI does, but I have no clue why this
error box keeps popping up and how to make it stop. Please help.

Thank you.
