[Len Cuff]

I am no longer able to get to the firewal settings on my XP Home PC. I
get a message saying that WMI may be corrupt? I don't want to do a
system restore as suggested as I have just installed a load of
programs which I don't want to have to install again! Anuone know how
to fix this please?

TIA
