WMI is corrupted

[Ted Rock]

I have connectivity to the internet but I cannot access
all of the internet. For example, www.yahoo.com and
www.google.com give me the Page Expired message. I have
notice in the Advanced Tab of Network Connections that it
says that the WMI may be corrupted, do a System Restore.
I have done that about 4 times and the problem is still
there. Are there any suggestions?

A corrupted WMI databases shouldn't affect internet browsing, but here is
how to fix the corruption.

This problem can usually be fixed by forcing an auto-recover of the default
information stored in the repository.

- open a command window (start > cmd.exe)
- type "net stop winmgmt"
- type "cd %windir%\system32\wbem"
- type "ren repository repository.old" (or alternatively delete it)

Then try your operation again. It may take a minute or so to complete while
WMI rebuilds the database.

Paul,

That's excellent! I had the same problem as Ted and tried th
Microsoft 'fixes' to no avail.

Thanks a lot,
