WMI info missing or moved

I went to System Information in system tools and it says "Can't Collect
Information, cannot access the WIndows Management
Instrumentation software. Windows management files may be moved or missing."
I also went to Admin Tools/Computer Management/services and looked at WMI
which was running. I looked through the different tabs then exited from Admin
tools and rebooted. I got the the same message from Sys info and when I went
back into Services in Admin Tools I now get "Could not start WMI Performance
Adapter Service on local computer. ERROR 0x80040154:Class not registered."
How do I fix this?
 
Hey

This problem occurs if WMI service is disabled or not available
We need to recreate the same
Try these steps

1.At a command prompt (cmd), change to the WBEM folder.

cd %windir%\system32\wbem

2.Carefully type the following command to make sure that all the WBEM DLLs are correctly registered.

for /f %s in ('dir /b *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %s

Also, try registring all dll in c:\windows\system32 in command prompt, running the following command

for /f %s in ('dir /b *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %s

3.In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, type the following command to make sure that the Terminal Services provider is correctly registered.
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\tscfgwmi.dll

4.In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, type the following command to make sure that the provider host is correctly registered.

wmiprvse /regserver

5.In all operating systems type the following command to make sure that the WBEM Server (WMI service) is correctly registered.

winmgmt /regserver


Best of Luck
