-Thank you, John John, for your help & links.
I ran the command you suggested but it did not help.
I then copied the core WMI files from another system & began working with
the WMI Diagnosis Tool to affect repair. This was cumbersome because the "for
%i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i" AND "for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer"
scripts did not work on my computer, meaning that I had to register the
components one-by-one.
The WMI Service is now up & running, though I still have some problems
(e.g., nothing is listed on the Dependencies tab of any Service). For some
reason, a few .dll & .exes continue to be flagged by the Tool as needing to
be registered, most notably WINMGMT.EXE & UNSECAPP.EXE. Addionally,
registration for FASTPROX.DLL & WBEMPROX.DLL won't take for all classes.
I also notice that none of the .mfl, .mof, or .xsl files that exist on my
other identically set up computer are present in my reconstructed WBEM
folder. Should I simply copy these over as well?
Appreciate any further advice.

All files in my WBEM folder have mysteriously disappeared except for the snmp
& xml subdirectories. Consequently, I'm having several system problems (e.g.,
cannot access service dependency tabs, WMI can't start, strange i-Net
connectivty issue, etc.). I checked Microsoft Download but the only WMI
Redistributable applies to W2K.
My platform: WXP Pro SP3, NIS 2009, IE8, ADSL, Stand-Alone Computer.

At a command prompt issue the following command:

rundll32 wbemupgd, UpgradeRepository

If things don't improve then try re-registering the WMI components or a
comprehensive WMI rebuild, see here for more help:
