Re: XP Services Dependencies

Check if there are "DCOM" entries in the Application Event logs. I'm wondering if this is inter-related with the other problem (Disk Management console) you're facing.

Msinfo32.exe Generates a "Can't Collect Information" Error Message:

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, make sure that the following services start
correctly:
• Event Log
• Windows Management Instrumentation
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
All services started.

If that does not help, try these commands from Start/Run:

regsvr32 %Windir%\system32\wbem\wbemprox.dll
regsvr32 %Windir%\system32\wbem\wbemcore.dll
regsvr32 %Windir%\system32\wbem\wbemsvc.dll
regsvr32 %Windir%\system32\wbem\fastprox.dll

Did that. MSinfo32 still throws the same error.
Tried Depenedencies again and still get 'class not registered'

FWIW, WMIdiag >>> says I have some errors that may keep WMI from
working properly but I don't know how to read the text. Here is some
