Andersony 0 Posted March 14, 2000 A computer I'm working on reports the following in the Event Logs: wmi The description for Event ID ( 54 ) in Source ( WMI ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: \Device\WMIServiceDevice. --- (I get 2 of these in a row) perfctrs Unable to read IO control information from NBT device. Winmgmt WMI ADAP was unable to load the winspool.drv performance library due to an unknown problem within the library: 0x0 ---- Don't have the slightest clue as to what a WMI is ... so I don't even know where to start. I've about driven myself nuts trying to figure it out (W - Windows, M - ??, I - Interface ???) --- is it sooooo necessary for them to abbreviate everything. Krimuny! Tried searching the Microsoft Knowledge Base and here - no hits... Help... Win2k Pro Final Abit BX6-2 P3 450 -Brett Share this post Link to post
