    does anyone know what i might have done to cause the problem below. i think i may have disabled a service but i don't know which one, but now i can't see any system information.

    plus, i think this problem might be connected to the problems i'm having tryin to get trackmania nation to work!

    any ideas guys???

    thanks

    try running your performance rating test again and see if that does anything. If that doesnt work, then use a restore point.

    or u could try activating any of the processes you disabled.

    I think if it may be a matter of trial and error. Nothing better than finding a fix for stuff, lol, oh well, half the fun of tweaking i suppose!!

    I recently followed a tweak on fox news (bit random i know), http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,263591,00.html, the registry tweak at the bottom of the page is not advisable for anyone who actually wants to be able to use programs! ('Dos is dead', hmmmm, maybe not eh!!!)

    ok, so after a few mins of research, it appears that the WMI is corrupted or damaged, does anyone know how i can restore this, or has anyone done this successfully?

    thanks

    some tips from ms tech:

    restore or re.install is probably a better bet, imo

    cheers ...
