May 30, 2012 The WMI Services applet reads that I could not connect to local computer because Interface Class not registered. See: My Computer->Manage->Services->WMI (Properties).

Hi, WMI Control General reports 'Failed to connect to because of 'WMI: Generic failure'. The same also displayed in services.msc and Service Dependencies attribute. Executing a restore from last backup file does not change a thing. Cambridge Dictionary Serial Key Android. WMI service is running. The WMidiag is too old for Vista (I've not found a Vista version), and is incorrectly reporting missing files. I have not found any means to remedy this, nor reinstalling WMI. Do I have to run OS installation+repair?

Regards Morten Ross. Hi, If the above steps do not work on your computer, we have to reinstall Windows to solve the problem.

Fixed my problem.System info-Cannot collect information Win XP pro service pack 2 After installing speed up my pc and win tasks pro.system information no longer worked. Uninstalled both programs system info continued to not work.brought up help and support.

Tried MSINFO32.exe from Start Run.still no help. Tried to restore restore point from an earlier known working point. Did not help. Verified that DCOM, event logging, error reporting, Remote procedure call (rpc),and WMI were started and set to automatic.

I noticed that C: WINDOWS PCHealth HelpCtr OfflineCache index.dat was missing. Possibly from a windows cleanup program copied from another XP computer. I eventually got system info to start But could not Collect Information. Copied the above script and ran from command prompt as bat file. Received the errors also of name space and MOF so I think the registering of the DLL's is what solved the problem. Although I did get errors that the WMI files were corrupt and missing it turned out to not be the case. I think I may check for registry errors,clear event log, check that all installed programs are operating, make sure windows and other programs are fully updated, create restore point and see how things go.

This may be an old post that I am replying to but I think others may still find some value in it like I did. Good luck and Happy Computing Supertech1024. WMI script works - BUT some questions remain. 1) You mentioned to stop the wmimgt service at the beginning, but never anything about restarting it. 2) I noticed wmimgmt service RESTARTS ITSELF!

During the middle of all of this - is that okay for it to happen? It didn't seem to interfer, but I kept stopping it anyway 3) You had 'c:' - that effectively does nothing - what you meant is: cd/d c: pause Press any key to continue...

This worked for me - seemed to correct the WMI corruption. (I will follow up with an updated multi-pause [LOL] script). [updated - multi-pause script - many pauses, in case you want to bail out or stop the wmimgmt service that keeps auto-magically restarting] - also - set 'echo on' - since this is a serious system-level script and we want to see all the 'juice' (opinions may vary on that, but as i had a couple of issues, this helped) echo on REM -------------- REM - wmireset.bat REM -------------- REM echo.

Internet Connection Sharing available again. I stumbled across this forum searching for a way to rebuild the wmi files. My issue was that I lost the internet connection sharing options when clicking the advanced tab for my dual ethernet card.

You see, I have a router on the back end of one my computers. That allows me to connect my PS3 and Xbox 360 (and other devices up), all of them sharing the internet connection coming through my Alienware PC. I noticed that my devices wired to the router lost site of the internet. When I checked the advanced tab settings for the connection, windows had lost site of the information (some how over night), thus, no options were made available. Going back in time to another restore point didn't work, and I surely didn't want to try and rebuild windows. The script that was posted did the trick for my machine. I've added this golden egg to my techie note collections.

I surely appreciate you posting that script. Of all of my computer schooling and training, this has to be the best 'fixer-upper' I've found that prevented a major overhaul of my operating system. Thanks a million, Digital9x, aka Christopher Lumberton, NC.
