....in other words, your problem is NOTHING like the original one! -
why did you think that the fix there might work for you?
OK let's start from scratch.
when you say 'cancelled' WMI Service, what do you mean? - disabled it
in services.msc, or used some form of registry tweak, or removed it
completely?
WMI should be set to run Automatically, and on the Log On tab in
services.msc|Properties, to log on as Local System Account.
Check also that the RPC and DCOM Server Launcher services are also set
to Automatic (They should be - WIndows won't run without them!)
