I've successfully got rid of this one:


Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.


Boot into safe mode. First, open services and stop the Windows Management Instrumentation Service. Take ownership of the folder or the contents of the folder "C:\Windows\System32\wbem\Repository." I've done this three times now on different installs and didn't have any issues after doing this, but I suggest you back up the folder to be certain. Delete the contents of the folder. Reboot. When you boot into Vista, you might notice a half dozen or so application errors...it's OK.
Reboot again, and Event ID 10 will be gone, along with the afore mentioned application errors.

Good luck, I'm not responsible for you hosing your system, & all that.

Thx for the info.

I will see about automating that, IF it is safe to allow all admins access to that folder.

Darn....I'm sorry. I forgot something important. I should have written this out prior to posting, rather than just stream of conscious. After doing this, MS DTC Service may stop running; you will get this event, even after subsequent reboots:

Event 4691: The run-time environment was unable to initialize for transactions required to support transactional components. Make sure that MS-DTC is running. (DtcGetTransactionManagerEx(): hr = 0x8004d027)

and

Event 4427: Failed to initialize the needed name objects. Error Specifics: hr = 0x80004005, d:\rtm\com\complus\dtc\dtc\msdtcprx\src\dtcinit.cpp:571, CmdLine: C:\Windows\system32\dllhost.exe /Processid:{02D4B3F1-FD88-11D1-960D-00805FC79235}, Pid: 3060



This is the way you get rid of these:


At a command prompt, type the following command:
%WINDIR%\System32\msdtc.exe -uninstall
5. Start Registry Editor, and then remove the following registry keys if they exist: • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CID
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSDTC
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\MSDTC
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\MSDTC
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSDTC

6. At a command prompt, type %WINDIR%\System32\msdtc.exe -install.



I guess it sounds complicated, but my event log is absolutely clean now - the only warning I'm getting now is the Kerberos thing. All audits are successful, and no application red or yellow blotches.


I just went through the motions myself, and indeed just now when I rebooted, no more events.

Worked Thanks. One time windows did take ages to boot up and i mean ages! but it returns to normal once done and i didn't have to do the MSDTC stuff as i don't have it

P.S. Shame Microsoft don't release a fix for this

I've started to get it too, I've had 2 total system freezes this week on a _very_ clean v64u system (with sp1 and all windows updates except the language packs) which has been flawless for months.

Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

I'll try the fixes above shortly, thanks. I hope MS get wind of this and look into it as I've seen a few posts about it, and the only thing on MS's site seems to be how to stop the error being added to the log rather than how to fix the actual problem http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950375/en-us/

You can achieve this without rebooting or safe mode, and without altering any file or folder privileges by :

in service manager stop Windows Management Instrumentation Service, it will also stop it's dependencies Security Center, and IP Helper

in administrator elevated command prompt (left hit win key to open start menu search, type cmd then ctrl+left shift and press enter) use an admin accounts log in details :

this will start a cmd shell with full admin privileges. using that :

c:
cd \
md backupres
cd \
cd windows\system32\wbem\repository
move * c:\backupres
exit

service manager start first Windows Management Instrumentation Service and then Security Center, and IP Helper.

you may wish to use computer manager -> Services and Applications -> WMI Control
right click it, select properties, use the Backup and restore tab to create a repository backup to resolve this issue quicker if it happens again.

using this method I have not had any problems with MS DTC, though that may be entirely coincidental.

I'm having a hard time following. I know it's been a while since anyone has posted here but if you can give a more in depth how to for this I'd appreciate it. This problem is killing me.

What specifically is your issue (EventID)?

Hey all,

I am about to pull my thinning hair out!! I installed WinXP Pro two years ago on the machine I built and never looked back, never a problem until the last few months a couple BSOD's (first time since the initial installation). Thought I would catch up with the times, had some extra $$$, wanted to start using the PC as DVR, and needed more HD space so why not go Vista? Heard many good things. OMG!!! Vista has crashed more times than XP, NT, and 98 all rolled into one! My event log can be used in place of fireworks this coming July 4th!! Vista Ultimate 32-Bit was a clean install on one of the brand new Seagate HD's. XP Pro is on the old WD drive.

I booted up in safe mode, gave myself full control of the repository folder and everything in it and still cannot do anything to any of the files in there (I do not have permissions do delete and the file is in use if I try to cut and paste into a different folder). I cannot rename, delete, or cut the files or the folder.

I tried Yakumo's instructions... When I type cmd in the search box, left crtl+shif it just closes and nothing happens... If I use Run... the command prompt window opens but I do not know if it is an "administrator elevated command prompt ". If it is the correct command prompt I guess I do not understand the instructions.

Here is the administrator event list from my last boot up (except for the Outlook event - this started showing up after the last BSOD - yesterday morning. It now shows up every time I start Outlook)...

My goal was to try and get rid of them one at a time working my way to a clean event log but they seem to be growing instead of shrinking. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this matters or not... I did not format the drive before the installation. I thought the drive would be formatted as part of the installation. I say this because it took quite a long time to format the other drive after I got Vista running, far longer than it did to install Vista on the new drive. I thought read somewhere that formatting the drive in XP then installing Vista on it might cause a problem.

Thanks,

Hey Midas001,

I had some difficulty understanding how to get the administrator prompt so I had to do some more digging. The way the above guy described it is confusing.

Here's how:

Push the Windows key (between Ctrl and Alt)
Type the 3 letters cmd (you should automatically be typing in the search field now) but DO NOT push enter yet
Hold down Shift and Ctrl and keep them held down
Now press Enter

The way you'll know that you have the right prompt is that the path should be Windows\system32 instead of Users\(name of your computer).

It's really weird how this whole freeze thing works, I have to admit this quickfix is annoying but it becomes like second nature once you get used to it. I have to do this little ritual each time I log on so I don't get freezes. I have yet to find a permanent solution. Hope this helps.

Hey Jwheels,

Thanks very, very much for the reply. I have now determined that it is one of the Seagate HDD's. I installed Vista on the other drive and have not had a problem in 6 days. When I try to follow your instructions it still does not work. I was able to navigate to the windows\system32 directory so I assume I can follow the steps and start cleaning up my event list. I guess I am logged in a an adminstrator.

I do have a more pressing priority right now and that is getting the dual boot stopped so I can RMA the bad HDD. Newegg was cool about going past the 30 day return policy. So in short I needed the adminstrative command prompt anyway to access the boot configuration data. I already have the RMA for both drives but hate to return a good drive and then have to re-install everything yet again.

UPDATE: Navigating to the folder does nothing so I did a little research. This is by far the easiest way to launch the elevated command prompt:

Take care all!!!


UPDATE II: Better yet - Start > All Programs > Accessories > Right click Command Prompt > Run as Administrator

K I have the same problem. I did the cmmand prompt thing exactly how it says, but my computer keeps freezing up after a while of use. Every time.

Ultimate 32 bit

Thanks for the tip.

I deleted the folder contents from another OS (after backup), rebooted, original error gone, 3 additional errors created. 3 reboots later the additional errors cleared up, didn't have to do anything else.
