Default No access to system information

Hi,

I am using an IBM clone P4 a couple years old 1.7ghz bare
bone system with xp home installed and all critical
updates installed except last couple of weeks. I am
getting a message that tells me that I need to ask the
system administrator to allow me access priviledges to the
information I was seeking. How does something like this
change? Is it an side effect of Windows updates or did
Aol change another Dynamic link library with out asking,
or worse yet is it caused by a buggy symantic driver for
norton kamakazi utilities? Has anybody dealt with this
minor issue before, it is just annoying at this point
since it does not stop my pc from functioning.

Please advise, I thank you for your advice in advance

Cheers,

Tony

Default No access to system information

From http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm

[["Can't collect information Access denied to Windows Management
Instrumentation server on this computer. Have an administrator change your
access permissions."

Suggestions and Checkpoints:

Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down to: Windows
Management Instrumentation and make sure the Service is set to Automatic.

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

If that doesn't help, try this:

Open a Command Prompt and type "winmgmt /clearadap" to clear prior
WMI/resyncperf information from the registry.
Then type "winmgmt /resyncperf" to register the system performance libraries
with WMI again.]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.
