When I click on properties - advanced tab of either my
local area connection or my ISP dial up connection I get
the message: "Windows cannot display the properties of
this connection. The Window Management Instrumentation
(WMI) information might be corrupted. To correct this use
system restore to restore windows to an earlier time
(called restore point)."

The trouble is I have no point to restore to. System
restore was disabled and I had no idea this function
existed!!.

When I checked WMI through control panel - administrative
tools - computer management - services and applications -
WMI control and right click and select properties I get
the message: Failed to connect to <local computer>
because :"Win32: %1 is not a valid Win32 application"

When I run a network diagnostics scan every item shows up
as an error and the detail reads: Unable to connect to
WMI service "\\.\root\cimv2"

I have tried re installing my network card.
I have deleted and reinstalled my dial up connection,
I have tried the solution in Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article - 319101 and that does not work
 
I have followed the recommended procedure below and that
does not work.
Try (using e.g. Start/Run, or a command prompt):

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\atl.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netshell.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hnetcfg.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netcfgx.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netman.dll
I have tried following this procedure as well and it does
not work
Go to Start/Run/CMD and then run each of these hitting
enter after each:

winmgmt /clearadap
winmgmt /kill
winmgmt /unregserver
winmgmt /regserver
winmgmt /resyncperf

I have tried this command:
%windir%\system32\wbem\mofcomp %windir%\system32
\wbem\hnetcfg.mof

and get the following :
 
Parsing MOF file: c:Windows\system32\wbem\hnetcfg.mof
MOF file has been successfully parsed
Storing data in repository...
An error occurred while opening the name space for object
1 defined on lines 16-19
Error number 0x800700c1, Facility: Win 32
Description: %1 is not a valid Win 32 application
Compiler returned error 0x800700c1

Can anybody out there help?
