winxp wmi / wbem problems (for no good reason!)

problem: tasklist wont run (dialogue framedyn.dll not found) and the following error in event viewer

The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish event queries with WMI to monitor third party AntiVirus and Firewall.

what im not doing: an 'inplace reinstall' [edit: i maybe am!]

step 1 - copy framedyn.dll from %windir%\system32\dllcache to %windir%\system32\wbem (as admin)... tasklist runs, but logging out & back in takes us back to problem!

step 2 - run rundll32 wbemupgd, UpgradeRepository to diagnose and repair wmi... wbemupdg module not found... no good!

step 3 - run rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection WBEM 132 %windir%\inf\wbemoc.inf, insert winxppro cd then restart... now i have additional warnings along with initial problem!

may have to come back to this one...
