System Information Error

Delete the files in the REPOSITORY folders (..\system32\wbem)
(you will have to turn off the winmanagement service to do that)

'net stop winmgmt'
delete files
then restart Windows

Hi,

Running XP Home w/SP1: If I access system information I recieve the
following error:

Can't collect information Cannot access the Windows Management
Instrumentation software. Windows Management files may be moved or missing.

In checking services, the Windows Management Instrumentation is started.

Any help in troubleshooting this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nospam

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately that did not do it. Anything else that can be done?

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

Despite all the excellent suggestions and troubleshooting tips which I used
for several hours, it was to no avail. Reinstalling XP finally fixed the
problem.

Again, thank you very much for your assistance.
