WMI has encountered a problem

[john W]

I keep getting the pop up message " WMI has encountered a
problem and needs to close" what the heck is this and
how do I keep it from popping up every 15 seconds?

Thank you

JWA

Hi John,

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

And/or: Go to Start/Run/CMD and then run each of these hitting enter after
each:

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