Re: Errors in Event Viewer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

After uninstalling Microsoft OneCare (beta) some users are reporting error
messages in the Application log of Event Viewer similar to the following:
"Event provider attempted to register query "SELECT * FROM
__InstanceCreationEvent WHERE TargetInstance ISA "MPSSVC_Agent" " whose
target class "MPSSVC_Agent" does not exist. The query will be ignored. "

The following procedure should do away with these error messages.

- go to Start|Run.

- Type "services.msc" (without quotes).

- Look for this service : Windows Management Instrumentation

- Right-click on it and choose Stop.

- Windows will warn you that Security Center and Windows Firewall will
also be stopped. Say YES.

- Using "Windows Explorer" or "My Computer" navigate to the
C:\Windows\System32\Wbem folder.

- Delete the REPOSITORY subfolder that you will find in there.

- Windows will rebuild a new one after reboot.

- Restart the WMI service and any other services which you stopped above by
right clicking on it and choosing Start.

- After one minute restart your PC and test.

- The three error messages should no longer be there.

I don't have access to the Newsgroups for this beta App. and perhaps they
have already addressed this issue. Possibly Carey Frisch or PA Bear or
someone would forward this on...?? It may be useful information.
