System Information Error
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 |

System Information Error
Nospam,
By any chance do you have "RegSafe" installed on your system? If so, it will cause the problem you describe and the only solution I found is to uninstall the program. There may be other software out there that makes the same system changes as "RegSafe" and could conceivably cause the problem. If you recently installed any new software, I would suggest using "System Restore" to roll back to a point prior to the installation and see if the problem is corrected. Post back on this newsgroup with your results, please! -- Sir_George "Nospam" wrote in message ...

System Information Error
Hi Sir George,
I do not have RegSafe installed. I did look at the jsiinc link and it essentially said the same thing I already looked at, that the windows\system32\wbem\repository folder was corrupted. I stopped the WMI service, deleted the files in the repository folder and one additional folder that was in the repository folder, rebooted the machine and no luck. I also ran a SFC to no avail. Is a reinstall (upgrade mode) the only option left? btw, I attempted to use system restore and it could not use the last restore point. The last hardware/sfotware install was ASPI 4.71 Thanks, Nospam "Sir_George" wrote in message ... Nospam, By any chance do you have "RegSafe" installed on your system?
