Hi Tech. I had the same problem, but the fix was fairly easy for the most part.
I am running Win XP Pro an this is whay I did to correct the problem.
Go to control panel and open Administrative tools.
Click on services.
Go down to Windows Managament Instrumentation.
Stop this service. along with Security Center.
Exit out of this area to your desktop.
Right click Start and choose Explore.
Go down to c:\windows\system32\wbem\repository.
Delete this subdirectory ONLY.
Exit back to your desktop and reboot your computer.
CPF should now be recoginized.
Good luck.
