Thanks for replying. However, having looked at the SQL Server groups, I am
convinced that the answer does NOT lie there. The WMI problem I am
experiencing is causing the issue with SQL Server and NOT the other way
around. If I can correct the issue with WMI, I am sure that the SQL Server
issue will go away.

I have rebuilt the WMI service following the instructions in
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairwmi.htm, but this has NOT corrected the
problem.

I am beginning to believe that I will have to completely reinstall WindowsXP
to mend this problem, something that I do not want to do, as I have then to
reinstall a lot of applications.

Hopefully, someone here will be able to point me in the right direction.

I don't know the answer but you may want to try the sql groups. There are
many of them so I'm not sure which is the best one for your question. They
are microsoft.public.sqlserver.*

I posted this earlier today on the Configuration and Management area,

fairly urgent matter that I need to resolve sooner rather than later.

I have been trying to start a SQL server 2005 instance and kept
running into what appears to be a WMI issue.

I am running on a WinXP SP2 PC (recently upgraded from Win2k Pro SP4).

When I select Properties in the WMI Control connector in Computer
Management, I see displayed the following message in the General tab
in the dialog box:-

Failed to connect to <local computer> because "Win32: Access is
denied"

None of the remaining tabs on this dialog box are accessible.

When I select the "SQL Server Configuration Manager" connector in
Computer Management I see that the Connection failed with the
explanation "Cannot connect to the WMI provider. You do not have
permission or the server is unreachable."

Does anyone have any suggestions that would help me correct these
issues?
