WMI problem

Can anyone tell me why my screen is saying my WMI is corrupted and not working? My o/s is XP Home, and is a clean instal with an original disk, that hasnt long been done. It used to work, as I successfully installed a home network which also worked, although now it doesnt.

Cheers

 

Hello,

Just apply the instructions :

Rgds,

 

I originally posted this in the wrong area in response to the screen shots regarding the Local Area Connection properties advanced tab screen enabling checking or uncjecking of the XP internet connection firewall. This is because when I go to this screen I get the WMI cannot run, it may be corrupted message, and suggesting I do a restore point to try and fix this.I have also tried the MS suggestion for fixing this , none of which work.

My o/s is a bona fide XP Home edition, not a copy, but I have also had this on "trial " versions of XP pro, 3 times in fact.

I have also seen requests on the same lines on other forums, but never an answer.... is there one?

Cheers

 

Hi Kentish,

Can you give us the precise verbage of the message as well as any associated event log entries?

Thanks

Dan

 

OK, after further playing, and doing a very long way back system restore, my WMI started to function properly allowing me to run my network and me too see the advanced firewall screen, with it check box.
But having worked happily for 4 days, and having run Tracks Eraser Pro and MRU Buster, it has stopped working and now says the WMI is corrupt.Obviously the problem lies with eithe MRU Buster, or Tracks Eraser Pro.
Does anyone have any suggestions or similar expieriences? Prior to this I was using Win98SE and had no problems but this all changed when I moved to XP

Cheers

ps sorry if this is too vague a question.
