I tried, but I can't delete the Repositry folder (even in safe mode) as Windows reports that the files are "in use".  Maybe that's because they weren't corrupted or failing like your ones.

You have to try to delete the files in it, not the folder itself...

If you really want to give this a try, stop Windows Management
Instrumentation service, then delete the files.

After that, restart your computer.

Make a system restore point before.

Hey guyz,

I was running Windows XP sp1 with AntiVir. The processes are:

1. Install Windows XP sp2
2. Unintall AntiVir Home Edition
3. Install Avast HE 4

Everything is ok.

By the way, does Avast has any official announcement that Avast HE 4 supports XP sp2?

Was this official enough? ;D


(I mean, are we expected to do a press release about this...?) :)

Hi gary.lane,

I hope you saw my last post:

1) stop the WMI service

2) delete the files in the repository folder

3) restart

There is a long alternative to try to solve the issue:
http://www.talkaboutsoftware.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.wmi/messages/2468.html

I know an user that fixed his WMI using the alternative.

Well, not fully in a clean installation of SP2 (Windows > SP2 > then avast...).
You should correct the VDD Registry Key trouble  :P
