Hi Richard,

Suggestions:

Error Message: Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Might Be Corrupted
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;319101&Product=winxp

1 - In the Management Console\Services STOP WMI and set to manual.
2 - Go to the WMI repository %Windows%system32%wbem and delete the
repository.
3 -Set the WMI service back to Automatic
4 - From %Windows%system32%wbem run "wbemtest" and connect to your
namespace.
5 - Run regedt32.exe. Locate current HKEY_Current_Config. Go down the tree
to System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class. The open the class key and right
click on the sub key 0000 and select permissions and make sure that the
permissions for you [administrator] are "Full".
