There is no way for us to guess what happened. We just don't have enough
information. You can try repairing the repository that has the
information about your security software (and I assume that you have a
version of ZA that includes an antivirus?) as follows:
Right-click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Type the following
command:
winmgmt /verifyrepository
If the system returns "WMI repository is not consistent", run this command:
winmgmt /salvagerepository
The first time you run this it will fail. It will issue stop commands
to the services causing it to fail. It might take a couple minutes for
the services to shut down. Run the command again. You actually may
have to run it 3 times before it finally runs and completes on its own.
Reboot your system.
If the above still doesn't work, run cmd as Administrator and:
net stop winmgmt [enter]
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem [enter]
ren repository repository.old [enter]
net start winmgmt [enter]
If none of that works, what antivirus do you have installed?
