Unexpected error getting disk usage information

[triple-e]

Okay, searched on the error message and it pointed me to reregistering all wbem dlls and renaming the repository folder, then rebooting rebuilt everything and I have disk space info again! Thanks sub for pointing me in the right direction.

I need to remember to look in my event viewer after seeing nothing in the log files, it was right there, with a link to msdn and everything.

Well, I've had this issue for awhile so I thought I'd actually try and solve it tonight. I have a slightly different error message, but it gives the same result:

From PVRX2.exe.log:

2008-01-30 17:56:46.343 ERROR [1] Unabled to determine disk usage: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8001010E): The application called an interface that was marshalled for a different thread. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8001010E (RPC_E_WRONG_THREAD))

at System.Management.ManagementObject.Get()
at GBPVRX2.xc4cb87524c636330.x3b759dccac9bd636()


After trying a bunch of different stuff, I noticed that if I invoke the System screen by using the keyboard or mouse, the disk usage graph works and I don't get the above error. However, if I invoke it using my remote (a streamzap remote which uses girder to send keys to gbpvr), then I always get the above error.

Does anyone else see this behavior? Any ideas on other things I could try?

Thanks,
