I was going thru your
services info, to find out which ones i can disable, and i
happened to find that another one of the dependencies of the
Event Log, is the Internet Connection Firewall, without the
event log, it is disabled and mistakenly shows that there is
a problem with the WMI. By the way, thanks for all the well
published info on the services. Keep up the great work !!
