You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created. ****** what is this all about? i click ok but it keeps appearing every 30 seconds or so?? any help please would be great thanks tom
Guest madu Posted May 11, 2003 Report Posted May 11, 2003 What win version is that?? XP/2K: It should not. There is usually no such service running. My advice is to get Ad-Aware from www.Lavasoft.de - it checks for bogus services/spyware/adware and other crap on your system. That's what this winmgmt might be.
Guest tomdbomb61 Posted May 11, 2003 Report Posted May 11, 2003 im running windows 2000 professional, what is winmgmt? im kinda gettin annoyed with this now lol thanks tom
Guest Palindrome Posted May 11, 2003 Report Posted May 11, 2003 Perhaps what's below will help. I found it on a forum when I did a quick search to find out what exactly winmgmt was. Hope it works: ____________________________________________ OK the solution to this problem is actually quite simple... What has happened is a system config file has been corrupted... go to: C:WINNTsystem32wbemRepository in there you will find a file named: $WinMgmt.CFG$ DELETE IT... trust me... or if you don't, rename it to $WinMgmt.CFG.OLD or something... SHUT DOWN... and Power Back Up again... when you log back in it will give you the same message once... wait till the OK button appears (this should restart WinMgmt.exe)... CLICK OK... and you should be good to go... if for some reaspon WinMgmt.exe doesn't automatically start you can double-click it at: C:WINNTsystem32wbemwinmgmt.exe happy computing... hope this works for everyone! ______________________________________________________
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted May 11, 2003 Report Posted May 11, 2003 Or take a peek at the error log (Right click My Computer > Manage... ) and see what it says its doing to crash over and over :)
Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 Head over to www.blkviper.com AMAZING site. Takes you though the "services" that Windows loads by default, tells you which you need, which you don't, and why. In most cases, you do NOT need em. They waste system resources, and they're "another thing to go wrong". Highly commended site - covers WinXP and Win2K, plus a lot of other stuff as well.
Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 Wow! First I get "Modaco not available".... then the post gets repeated!
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Yeah phpbb does that. If it EVER throws up an error on posting 99% of the time it has actually posted (even if it says it hasnt :/). So check the topic first before hitting back and submit again :)
