Google is your friend. If you enter "WMIPRVSE.EXE" into Google, you get hundreds of hits - most of then describe some sort of system slowdown. Give it a try.

I have a Dell that is running XP Service Pack 2 and up until about a month ago I had no problems at all. Now I am about ready to dump this thing and get a MAC.....
Anyway, I started noticing my programs would stop responding and even my mouse pointer would freeze. I couldn't do ANYTHING! After scanning my system for MalWare, Virii, and other nasties everything came up clean. The next time I noticed my system not responding I also noticed that my hard drive started running continuously almost like I was retrieving or saving a LARGE file. My system would stay frozen and my drive continue to run for up to 4 or 5 minutes at a time. It would probably happen every half hour or so. Sometimes I would see it happen every 15 minutes. It was getting EXTREMELY aggravating. One night after it happened a few times I went on the lookout to try and see what was causing this problem. I went into SYSTEM INFORMATION and looked under "RUNNING TASKS" and matched the time of the last freeze to a file called WMIPRVSE.EXE. Under PATH it listed "NOT AVAILABLE." The PROCESS ID is 608. Priority is 8. Both the MIN and MAX WORKING SET is NOT AVAILABLE. The VERSION is NOT AVAILABLE as well as the SIZE and File Date. I KNOW this is the culprit because eash time my system has one of the FREEZE moments the time it happens will always be the time that WMIPRVSE ran last.
So basically I have a system that is TOTALLY USELESS on several different occasions during any one computing session. I have done a lot of searching and reading and have yet to find a solution. The Knowledge Base isn't any good because those fixes are only for Windows SERVER and I am NOT running that. I have also read many postings in these newsgroups and despite many people seeming to have this problem, I have yet to find a solution. I don't want to call Microsoft and pay for someone I can't understand to try and fix it.
This is just a BASIC home system with nothing strange installed on it. It doesn't have SERVER or any type of .NET stuff on it.
I am hoping that someone on here can help me fix this thing. I am just about at my wits end with this thing. I know my hard drive is totally occupied and my CPU will go to 100% each and every time this thing starts. I have scanned with just about every kind of protection program and blocker that I can find and still NOTHING has changed. If I can't get help here I am just going to format my drive and re-install XP and all my stuff. If that doesn't fix it then I am going to a MAC.
PLEASE SOMEONE tell me how to fix this and return my computer back to the enjoyable machine I had a month or so ago.
Thanks for your time and help.
