Problems like this are often caused by malware of some kind - eliminate that
as a cause first.

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/stinger.exe

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:
http://www.intermute.com/products/cwshredder.html
(download it without the accompanying rubbish)

download AdAware SE Personal Edition from www.lavasoftusa.com, install,
update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from
your system.

I was having the same problem and this solution worked for me:
Right-click ‘My Computer’ and choose ‘Manage’ to open the Computer
Management tool.
Click on ‘Services’ in the list in the left-hand pane and then select
‘Windows Management Instrumentation’ from the list in the right-hand pane.
There are two entries for ‘Windows Management Instrumentation’ . You need to
select the main one, not the ‘Driver Extensions’ entry.
With the correct Service highlighted, click on the ‘Stop’ link which will
appear to halt the Service.
With the Service halted, use ‘My Computer to locate the folders
\Windows\System32\Wbern\Repository and \Windows\System32\Wbern\Repository\FS.
Delete all files in those folders.
Reboot to allow the service to be restarted and the necessary files recreated.

I hope this helps you!

One slight problem - what you are giving instructions for is Windows XP. The
questioner is asking about Windows ME, which has a rather different way of
doing things (and no Management Console!)
