WMI not working properly?

[Guest]

I have no idea what is happening, first off Windows Installer wouldnt
install, giving the "1607" error and after trying to troubleshoot with the
network diagnostics in Help and support. I ended up with some WMI error, I
checked services to see whether it was runing or not, it was running , so
then I checked MSinfo32.exe and got:

System Information report written at: 12/08/06 23:14:15
System Name: BEDROOM
[System Summary]


Can't Collect Information

[Hardware Resources]



[Conflicts/Sharing]

Resource Device

And yet using taskmanager and a third part program I can see the processes
runinng, so I'm looking at a complete reinstallion of windows unless some can
help me diagonse the problem...

Msinfo32 - System Information
"Can't collect information Access denied to Windows Management
Instrumentation server on this computer. Have an administrator change your
access permissions."

Suggestions and Checkpoints:
Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down to: Windows
Management Instrumentation and make sure the Service is set to Automatic.

Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: net stop winmgmt. Then delete the
%windir&\system32\wbem\repository directory. Once done go back to
Start/Run/CMD and type in: net start winmgmt

If that doesn't help, try this:
Open a Command Prompt and type "winmgmt /clearadap" to clear prior
WMI/resyncperf information from the registry.
Then type "winmgmt /resyncperf" to register the system performance libraries
with WMI again.

WinMgmt could not initialize the core parts
This will re-install wmi into the registry: Go to Start/Run and type in:
CMD, then Winmgmt/? for information. Then run each of these hitting enter
after each:

winmgmt /clearadap
winmgmt /kill
winmgmt /unregserver
winmgmt /regserver
winmgmt /resyncperf

If none of that works.

If Wesley's information does not help, create a CMD file from the following and execute it.
See if this batch file helps.

FIXWMI.CMD
