Hoping someone here can help.
Win XP SR2
Tried running MSINFO32.
Received a response
"CAN'T COLLECT INFORMATION"
"Cannot access the Windows Management Instrumentation software.
Windows Management files may be moved or missing."

Within 'Services,' WMI shows it is running.
How do I resolve this?
FWIW, running services.msc results in . . . nothing. No apps appear to start. No errors. nutin.
