try turning off the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) in your services (control panel -> administrative tools -> services) and then turning it back on.

Hey, Everyone with this WMI Problem!!!
Ive got good and bad news.
Bad news: Most likely you have a virus... Don't panic, its not as bad as it sounds. Its called the Pate.b.worm virus. I was having the same error messages on my computer.
Good news: Ill make it VERY simple for you. Go to:

http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=stinger

and download this program. (*STINGER*) Its small... Run the program and let it do its magic. Restart your computer and see if you still have the message. Or just do what I did and get McAfee Virus scan Software. It found some traces of the virus that stinger didn't... Norton should be just as good.
Please Let me know if this helps
PLEASE EMAIL ME!!! [email protected]
Thanks
