I have a real problem. Every single time that I try to open the event log in
the MMC, Windows says the service is not running. Then I go to the services
plug-in, and try to start the service. Every time, it gives me "Error 4201,
the instance passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI data provider." I go
into dos, and use the WMIC interface, but when I try to open the Event Log
part, it doesn't work either.

Help!!! I am a serious computer programmer and I really need access to the
event log!!!!!
 
Well, I would recommend checking the event log for errors, but I guess
that is out of the question :).

Is the wmi service running?
