How to reinstall WMI?
This is helpful if you want
to reinstall WMI without reinstalling the OS, in order to be able to
run 3DMark06 (they added some SystemInfo
checking which uses this particular service). Extract
(Open with Winrar, Winzip or similiar) file
wbemoc.in_ from the full Windows CD i386
(or amd64) folder to Windows\inf folder then run
(Start - Run) this: rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
wbemoc.inf, WBEM When it asks for the files point it to the
full Windows CD, i386 (or amd64) folder. After it finishes copying,
reboot the machine. Try 3DMark. If that didn't help at first, as it
didn't for me but it was necessary for the next steps, get a tool
called
Dial-a-Fix.
In it, under Tools choose "Reset WMI" and Go. Reboot after finished.
If maybe it still doesn't work then try this but be careful
when tampering with the registry.
Repeat it all but first add to the
end of the string (do not replace the whole string, just add
to the end of it), this: ;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
To the registry key using regedit (Start - Run - Regedit) under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet
\Control
\Session Manager
\Environment
\Path So it looks something like: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
