On Win2KSP2, when logged in as Administrator and running Computer Management (compmgmt.msc) under Administration Tools, any of the system information folders when selected displays the following message in the view pane: "Cannot access the Windows Management Instrumentation software. Windows Management files may be moved or missing. Contact your System Adminstrator..." Well, I am the system administrator. I know of nothing that would have moved system files so I can only assume something has become corrupted. The other parts of Computer Management work ok. I have a second (older) machine running Win2k that works fine and is very similar in all respects to the one that doesn't. They are networked together. If I knew what system files (Instrumentation software??) were used by System Information, perhaps I could just copy them from the working machine (unless it is a registry problem). Ideas? 😕
