I posted previously about NIC card not recognized by XP. Further digging
shows that my WMI won't start, even tho "automatic". It gives error 1068:
the dependency service or group failed to start. All of the 'group' is not
'started'. This could be part of the NIC card problem perhaps. What can I
do to correct this? Again TIA, ***
