Hi Raoul,

To resolve this issue, make sure that the following services start
correctly:

I'm scratching my head on this one.

I go to Start/ALL programs/accessories/system information and get a message
as follows:

Can't Collect Information

Access Denied to Windows Management Instrumentation Service on this
computer. Have an Administrator change your access permissions.

This just started happening recently. Have tried the same thing in SAFE
mode under Administrator.....with no difference.

Anyone have any ideas that might help??

TIA
