Ramesh,
I ran the comprehensive rebuild method, but no positive results, I am still 
getting the "can' collect information..." message. 
The Event Viewer is showing a DCOM error, something like:  "unable to start 
DCOMServer, the system cnnot find the file specified... happened while 
starting, and them something either blank or mixed specia characters.  I also 
ran the 
WIMDiag.vbs with the sale results mentioned in my prior note, with errors 
with "....the registry settings of COM/DCOM has been damaged or wrongly 
modified..."

I hope you can decypher all the above and come up with the suggestions.  
Thanks for your valuable support, I appreciate all this very much.
Eugenio
