Thanks to those of you who contributed something helpful.

I’m too confused to take a chance on doing anything and doing it wrong. The WMI Diagnostic Utility does not show Vista under system requirements. Under rebuilding the repository it showed instructions for Windows XP and Vista; then down a ways instructions for Windows XP SP2, and below that for Vista. I’m assuming this would be Vista SP2, but not sure.

doktornotor also gave a helpful link. But this is another program that I don’t know how to use.

So I guess since everything seems to be working I will leave it alone until something drastic rears its head. I wish I understood more about things as trying to fix things is not easy when you don’t. I’d just run to the repair shop except that I live 100 miles from the nearest one.

Tarq57 is so correct. Responses like that made by area51 and Dieselman are such a waste of time for both them and me.

Thanks again.
