wmiprvse.exe - app error unknown soft exception (0xc0000409) in the app at loc 0x716714a1



HP Media Center PC

About once a day I get dialog box

wmiprvse.exe - application error, unknown software exception
(0xc0000409) in the app at loc 0x716714a1

Research on the Internet suggested I run SFC /SCANNOW

SFC wants Windows XP CD and HP PC's don't ship with CD's everything on
D drive.

Used HP's Recovery CD-DVD Creator to burn DVDs from HP's restore
partition on D:, then copied the i386 folder from the DVD to c:\
and modifyed registry for SFC to look in that i386 folder instead of
under C:\windows\i386 which must have had some corrupt dll's since SFC
kept asking for Windows XP CD #2.

SFC ran fine against the new C:\i386 gave no messages of any kind did
not ask for Windows XP CD#2 but this did not solve the problem.

I note that WMIPRVSE.EX_ in my new C;i386 which came from the DVD
which came from the D: drive is a different size than the two copies
located in

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\wmiprvse.exe

I don't think running SFC /SCANNOW replaced either one of those files.

Have run Norton AntiVirus and Trojan Hunters and they find nothing.
