nwpsys Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Running the latest Speccy on a friend's old XP SP3 box gives the above error for every line item in Speccy, both on the summary and detail pages. Nothing in Event Logs when Speccy runs, so no idea what this could be. Any advice welcome. Cheers, Nige Edited October 24, 2012 by Nergal Pinned Topic.

Moderators Nergal Posted April 4, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 4, 2012 Make sure WMI service is running and that the user has administrative privilages on the computer (these are usually the cause of this error) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

nwpsys Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks, Nergal. It was WMI that had broken on the system concerned. Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy2 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 @Nwpsys: You're not the only one with this problem. http://www.tweaking....php?topic=638.0 Try a program called "Windows Repair" (www.tweaking.com) and make sure you - at least - tick "Repair WMI". The program can solve A LOT OF (not all) window problems. I don't know whether this program ("Windows Repair") is able to restart the WMI service. "Window Repair" is a first step to a more stable computer system. Perhaps the Piriform moderators can create a FAQ section/thread here on the forum ? Where an answer can be provided for a number of recurring errors in Speccy ? And their solutions ?

KapnJackSparrow Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah I have had this problem a few times too... I am not 100% sure what is messing with my WMI since I was never able to pin it down. anyway copying this into the comand prompt fixes the problem 99% of the time cd /d %SystemRoot%\system32\wbem for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer I am not sure why it doesn't work if saved as a batchfile but hopefully this will help some people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The program "Windows Repair" executes the same commands. System setup: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/gcNzIPEjEb0B2khOOBVCHPc A discussion always stimulates the braincells !!!

inrange Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 KapnJackSparrow's three commands worked great for me, just cut and paste into a command window. Some programs ran or gave messages for the third command, just closed or ignored. ran up speccy all fine. If you want to make it a batch file then you need to use %% in place of a single %.
