Hello there,
I can't seem to connect to the internet using my LAN cable on my Windows XP. I have searched for solutions from other forums and they all say that I should start a service that wasn't running (i.e. DHCP Client). I did that but I got this error:
“System error 1075 has occurred. The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.”
I read somewhere that NetBT should be cleared but when I did this, nothing happened. I also reinstalled Windows XP but it didn't work. The last thing I did was to try System Restore but that didn't work either. I did all these troubleshooting in Safe Mode.
I have run out of options. I need help. Thank you.

Possible cause for these was Broken Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) repository, it is the infrastructure for management data and operations on window-based operating systems.
Please execute the following in windows command line.
>Stop the WMI service:
net stop winmgmt
>Rebuild the repository. Rename the folder to something else as a backup.
ren %windir%System32WbemRepository Repository_old
>Start WMI service
net start winmgmt
>Repair the repository
windows xp:
rundll32 wbemupgd, UpgradeRepository
vista:
winmgmt /salvagerepository
>Register the new WMI components:
cd /d %windir%system32wbem
for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i
for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer
>Reboot the computer to take effect of the changes
If the above steps does not work, try the rebuild below:
rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection WBEM 132 %windir%infwbemoc.inf
