I'm recieving this error message in Win2k after I boot up my computer.

"WinMgt.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.

A error log is being created."

Below are the following error messages I receive in the even viewer:

"The Windows Management Instrumentation service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service. "
Event ID: 7031

"DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. " attempting to start the service WinMgmt with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820} "
Event ID: 10005

I went to eventid.net and searched for this information but the results I received were completely chinese to me (i didnt understand them).

If anyone out there can help me out, I'd be very grateful.

Thank you

Update: I might add that this occured after executed a soft reboot (the login prompt locked up on me so I had to hit the restart button), if win2k wasnt properly shutdown, then at startup it will do a "scandisk sorta thing". After that was done and I logged in, that error message above popped up. btw i have a fat32 file system.

There's a couple of things you may want to try. Both of the following commands will need to be run from a command prompt...Start | Run | Type cmd and hit OK.

Try to dredge the computer's performance libraries by using the following command...

winmgmt /clearadap

This command clears all WMI-related values from the service's performance registry key...

winmgmt /resyncperf "winmgmt service pid"

For more command line options that are available with WMI, you can use the /? switch...

winmgmt /? ;)
