Has anyone been getting consistent WMI failures on XP Pro? I have no clue what is causing it (looked around at MS...tried the fixes but they didn't work).

I keep getting the "application has encountered an error and needs to close" box. But the lamest part is when Explorer's CPU usage goes right up to 100% constantly once WMI fails...

Anyone? BTW this is a fresh installation....3 days old. All updates applied.
