J Lunis <jay.lunis@xxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
XP SR2
Windows Services gives me an error of 'Interface: class not registered'
when I check dependencies of any service.
In addition, I have a frequent Event Viewer error relating to DCOM
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10010
Description:
The server {A1F4E726-8CF1-11D1-BF92-0060081ED811} did not register
with DCOM within the required timeout.

Under Local Area Connection Status>Properties>Advanced I have
'Windows can not display the Properties of this connection. The Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI)information might be corrupted.'

These errors are related to WMI so I ran WMIdiag. Found some errors but
do not understand how I can correct them. Guidance please.
