I don't understand. I've tried repairing the WMI, and even tried to repair Windows, but when it makes the temp files, it can never copy somethin'8ggi.sys. So, it won't let me reinstall. 'Gonna install some XP SP2 WMI update, and hope it works.

When you go through the windows XP install make sure you don't use the Repair option... treat it as a fresh install... You are actully installing Windows "over the top" of your previous installation.
Another thing to check is look for that .sys file and make sure the security settings are correct.. just give "Everyone" full control and make sure there isn't any users or groups that are denied access. Also, make sure it's not set to "Read-Only" in the properties of the file.
Another thing I've had luck with is to reinstall SP2. You can find it here:
