Thanks Wesley

Just had a look - yeah it's set to Automatic.

I clicked along and when I clicked on "Dependencies" tab an error box popped up:

"WMI: Invalid Namespace

The 'Root\cimv2' namespace is not defined in the WMI repository"

and an OK button

So I clicked on ok but I wonder if this has anything to do with it?

Also just ran PC Doctor OnCall - demo (downloaded from Kellys-Korner-xp.com - Excellent site!)
It found loads of missing registry files - a lot of them ActiveX connected.

Some of these will surely be causing me problems ..........but not sure if connected to the original problem of a game not running and/or the winmngt service problem?

The above program being a demo will not fix these for me unlress I purchase it - Can anyone recommend an alternative method of reinstating missing registry files?

Also - How can I be sure that reinstalling registry files will not bring back viruses etc which I had problems with a few months ago?

Sorry if this is a bit long winded!
