Windows 7 WMI repair (systeminfo does not work)
I was directed to this board, so I'm reposting my question here:
I have suddenly lost my systeminfo functionality in Windows 7 Professional 64bit. When I type systeminfo in the CMD, I get ERROR: Invalid access to memory location. Also if I try to see the computer specs by right clicking on computer -> properties, it says Processor: Not available, and Memory: Not available. Also trying the msinfo32, it says "can't collect information" and doesnt show any of the system info. I cannot pinpoint when exactly this problem started occuring, but these things used to work for me. How do I fix this problem?

I suggest you do In-place Upgrade to repair the system. To do so, launch the installation program, and then choose Upgrade.Arthur Xie - MSFT

Try this:
open a CMD window (in Win7/Vista open as admin) and type at the cmd prompt:
net stop winmgmt (choose Y when needed)
winmgmt /resetrepository
net start winmgmt
I had the same problem, this worked for me.
