WMI Win32_PerfFormattedData hosed - how to fix?

I've been working on an ATL client to talk to WMI.

In the course of working on this, I was investigating the Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Processor class and had started getting some data under the debugger when I lost power.

When I came back up, my WindowsXP machine appeared to come up clean (didn't try to run chkdsk on the way up) but just to be sure I manually ran chkdisk to check for problems. None were reported.

Since the crash, I haven't been able to get data on Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Processor, Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Processor, or indeed any of about 24 total classes in these same families. WMIDiag reports an error 0x80041010 enumerating these classes. I have tried repairing the WMI registry by following the instructions listed at http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairwmi.htm but have had no luck. All of the classes that are giving me problems appear to belong to wmicookr.dll (which exists in %systemroot%\system32\wbem and which I have re-registered) and are enumerated in WMI.MOF (which also exists, and which I have also re-registered).

I'm at a complete loss here, and I do NOT want to have to reinstall this entire machine just so I can fix this.

One other observation is that I have a little program which enumerates the performance registry keys in the Performance Registry Interface.

Prior to this crash, I had a whole huge list of keys. Since this crash, I have many fewer keys, and the last key enumerated appears to only be partially there.

Any help, ideas, suggestions, pointers? I've been fighting with this for two days. This does not seem to be a unique problem either. I've seen numerous references to the 0x80041010 error, or 0x80041002, which I've also seen, without any successful resolutions.

Thanks in advance
