How to reinstall WMI on WXP-SP2

Hi,
I'm trying to run some VBScripts that access WMI, including WMI
Scriptomatic.
They all fail at statements like:
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
with error:Invalid Syntax and code: 800401E4.

I think my WMI system has been trashed because my
Windows\System32\WBEM folder contains just a few files
and subfolders, while my laptop on which WMI Scriptomatic runs fine, has
many more files and subfolders there.

I've posted to Microsoft's WMI newsgroup, but got no responses.

Is there a way to just reinstall WMI?
