But I would still like to know how to get systeminfo.exe to work again.
That's the reason I suggested you try the WMI script. If that fails, then there is something wrong with WMI files in the system.

The uptime.exe file worked. But I would still like to know how to get systeminfo.exe to work again.

Hi Adam,
Might be a problem with WMI. To test that, see if this script helps: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/sept04/hey0907.mspx
Copy the script to Notepad, and save as "Uptime.VBS" to the Desktop. Double-click the file. BTW, to report in "minutes", change the following line:
dtmSystemUptime = DateDiff("h", dtmLastBootUpTime, Now) to dtmSystemUptime = DateDiff("n", dtmLastBootUpTime, Now)
Alternately, you can use the uptime.exe utility from Microsoft Resource Kit
tools. Uptime is a simple command line tool that analyzes a single server
for reliability and availability information. It can work locally or
remotely. In its simple form, the tool will display the current system
uptime. An advanced option allows you to access more detailed information
such as shutdown, reboots, operating system crashes, and Service Pack
installation.
You can download uptime.exe from here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/winntsrv40/Install/uptime_1.01/NT4/EN-US/uptime.exe
Download and save this file on your hard disk. You can then run uptime.exe
from a command prompt. Type cmd.exe in Start, Run and uptime.exe
You'll see the output like this:
\\XPCOMP has been up for: 0 day(s), 0 hour(s), 49 minute(s), 6 second(s)
