I'm trying to simply learn VBScript from the VBScript
primer on technet, and on my XP home machine, when I run
the sample VBScript that gets free disk space from the C
drive, I get a dialog with the following:

Script: diskspace.vbs
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: 0x80041001
Code: 80041001
Source: (null)

Now, this script runs fine on my Win2k pro machine. I
reinstalled the WMI service as per another posting, since
it didn't even show up in my services, and that now
starts, but I still get this error. The line in question
in the error is:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:")

So, it seems it can't connect to the service still. I
don't know if it's pertinent or not, but the WMI
Performance Adapter won't start on my machine with
a "Class not registered" error.

Any assistance is much appreciated.
