WMI Provider Host stopped working and was closed
Computer: Dell Dimension E520 Viiv Core 2 Duo Processor E6300
O/S Vista home premium I am receiving the following error message which pops up shortly after bootup. “WMI Provider Host stopped working and was closed” I uninstalled the Dell Support Centre, believing it might be causing the problem since it appeared after I had installed that program. Initially, that seemed to cure the problem but within a few days it was back again, I have not, however, reinstalled the Dell Support Centre. In the Control Panel selecting “Problem Reports and Solutions” and clicking on “Check for new Solutions” at present 412 problems instances are listed but no solutions are found. Under “information about other problems 18 no. are listed eg. “Problem caused by McAfee spamkiller” but I don’t know and can’t find out what that problem is. Under “view problem history” I see that WMI Provider Host” stopped working on 7Nov.07 and 146 times since that date. Details of “Problem Signature” are given as follows, but I can’t make much sense of that information and am unable to determine from it what program is causing the WMI Provider Host fault.
