I noticed that when i tried to open "System Information" under the system tools menu,the "system information window opens but shows no system information whatsoever,instead it says and I Quote "Cant collect information" and also says "Failed connection to this computer,check to see Winmgmt service is running". After I saw that message I tried opening things that utilize WMI and noticed that they werent working. Now i dont know alot about WMI and all that stuff but i I know that the service is running because when i go to msconfig,under the services tab i see that "Windows Management Instrumentation" is running. So i came to the conclusion that either the service is currupt or has an error or something. Can someone tell me how i can fix this WITHOUT* system restore? Its like the service Enabled but it isnt.Something is obviously wrong.Anyone have any ideas?
