I'm working on my bosses Dell inspirion 8130 with 1 Gigs ram, running XP Home. I get this error about every 30 - 60 seconds in the event viewer and have narrowed it down to the WMI as a source. CPU running sluggish. I have read many approaches to resolve this issue but am coming up empty. The laptop is soooo old and I'm not sure my boss even has the original install disk. Any ideas??

Are you getting BSOD's with this or just a event error message on the desktop?

I also would like to look at some other things if you don't mind.

 

Go to Start then to Run
Type in compmgmt.msc and click Enter
On left side click on Disk Management
On right side you will see you hard drive.
Male sure the window is open all the way on the top right so I can see all the info it has.
Now I need you to take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply. Do the following to take a screenshot while the above is open and showing on your desktop.

To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
Now go to Start and then to All Programs
Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as
Save as file type JPEG or PNG and save it to your Desktop
Make sure the window is open all the way so I can see everything on the top right window.
