Guest Show Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Have pretty much the same problem as Hornet's. Mohit Kapoor's method did not work for me. I get a slightly different result from Petar's though and it shows like this....... C:\>winmgmt /verifyrepository WMI repository verification failed Error code: 0x80041003 Facility: WMI Description: Access denied C:\>winmgmt /salvagerepository WMI repository verification failed Error code: 0x80041003 Facility: WMI Description: Access denied I do not have anti-virus or xxCare One software installed.
