WMI query local computer fails with access denied despite being local admin

X

I am trying to run the following WMI Query against my local XP machine
while logged on with my domain account, which has local admin rights.

Select * from CIM_Datafile where Filename LIKE '%vdiskmanager%' AND
Extension = 'log'

This fails with " Application popup: wmiprvse.exe - Application Error :
The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000409) occurred in the
application at location 0x7166710b."

However, I created a local machine account with admin rights, and when
I run the query logged on as that user, it runs fine and returns the
expected results.

Any ideas what is wrong?
