Windows XP reports that Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) might be
corrupted?
http://www.jsifaq.com/SUBK/tip5200/rh5281.htm

[[You may receive any of the following error messages in Windows XP:
Unable to view network properties.
Windows cannot display the properties of connection. Windows Management
Instrumentation (WMI)
might be corrupted.
Unable to view System Information (MSinfo32).

If you run Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), wmimgmt.msc, you
receive:
Failed to connect to local computer due to WMI:Generic failure.

These errors will occur if the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder
is damaged.
To fix this problem:
1. Use the Start menu to right-click My Computer.
2. Press the Manage item.
3. Double-click Services and Applications in the left-hand pane.
4. Press Services to expand it.
5. Scroll to Windows Management Instrumentation in the right-hand pane and
right-click it.
6. Press Stop.
7. Use Windows Explorer to delete all the files in the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository
folder.
8. Shutdown and restart your computer. The Windows Management
Instrumentation service will
start and the files will be re-created.]]
---------------
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem\Repository\FS

del C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Repository\FS
======================================

I had a problem with WMI, I also had a problem deleting
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository. I had to run Error Checking
(Chkdsk).
And then try to delete the file. C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem\Repository\FS.

[Windows Management Instrumentation - WinMgmt could not initialize the core
parts
Go to Start/Run/CMD and then run each of these hitting enter after each:

winmgmt /clearadap
winmgmt /kill
winmgmt /unregserver
winmgmt /regserver
winmgmt /resyncperf

This may or may not repair the repository but will re-install wmi into the
registry.]

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
