"Windows 7 and WMI" fix applies to Vista32, also. I 'tweaked' my vista and lost system updates and security center. They worked before I ran the 'tweak'.
SOLUTION: "After a lot of searching and researching I finally came across the solution. It seems ( I may be wrong, please correct me if I am) that WR adds the following path for WMI which causes it and all associated dependencies to fail: C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
I've discovered that changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Winmgmt's Image path to: %systemroot%\system32\svchost.exe -k winmgmt"
In Vista, after I changed 'netsvcs' to 'winmgmt' things started working again.
