On my IBM ThinkCentre, which is running XP Pro SP2, if I do the following...

* Right click on My Computer
* Choose Manage
* Expand Services and Applications
* Select WMI Control
* Right click WMI Control and choose Properties

All I get is
Failed to connect to <local computer> because "WMI: Not found"

Any thoughts please? I do have admin rights to this PC.
 
SonicForce,

START | RUN | Type 'services.msc' (without quotes) & press ENTER

Scroll to the bottom & see if the 'Windows Management Instrumentation' service is running.
If not, right-click & start it

Post back please
 
Thanks for your assistance. The service you mentioned has an Automatic
startup type and is reported as Started.

All the best,
-Graham
