Microsoft Windows said:
Windows cannot display the properties of this connection. The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) information might be corrupted. To correct this, use System Restore to restore Windows to an earlier time (called a restore point). System Restore is located in the System Tools folder in Accessories.

I get that message when I click on the 'Advanced' tab for an Internet Connection in Network Connections.

The problem is, I don't have a clean Restore Point from earlier as I had a few Virus problems recently.

I need to set up ICS for my xbox 360, PC and NTL Broadband, but can't get to the 'Advanced' tab to do it because of this.

Could anyone help me here, I'm stuck. Thanks for any help / suggestions.

P.S. I don't have my XP disc with me, so can't use that to restore files from the disc if that would be necessary.
 
ok guys,

I don't want to have to reinstall windows over windows (repair) and risk losing data just because network advanced tabs are messed up, so has any really clever tech head got a way to ONLY reinstall the WINMGMT (I think it might be something to do with WBEMODBC on the XP disc I now have to hand.)

Any ideas, please please please help me.

I found this info but the line in bold does not compute/work when i enter it...

Another way this can be fixed is by forcing an auto-recover of the default
information stored in the WMI repository (database).

- open a command window (start > cmd.exe)
- type "net stop winmgmt"
- type "cd %windir%\system32\wbem"
- type "ren repository repository.old" (or alternatively delete it)

Then try your operation again (go back to Advanced properties page). It may
take a minute or so to complete while
WMI rebuilds the database.
