Hi

Recently I found my PC hanged right after starting Window. I checked in the  task manager. There is a process called "wmiprvse.exe" uttilizing 50% and sometimes 100% of my CPU. Everytime I need to end the process manually with an administrator account. Does anyone know what is this process for and how to resolve the issue? My PC is installed with Windows XP service pack 3. thanks

From http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/wmiprvse.exe.html:

Windows® Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a component of the Microsoft® Windows® operating system that provides management information and control in an enterprise environment. By using industry standards, managers can use WMI to query and set information on desktop systems, applications, networks and other enterprise components. Developers can use WMI to create event monitoring applications that alert users when important incidents occur.

It is possible that your wmiprvse.exe is infected with virus, or just a program error leads to the problem.
