XP Pro, WMI not functioning

[Glenn T. Kitchen]

Hello,
I can't utilize the msinfo32.exe program and am getting errors in my System
Log file due to this service not functioning properly or absent.
I tried using the Windows Add-Remove, removed the feature and re-installed
to no avail. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
glennTK
