The step you skipped, the System Variables - please give that a try. Strange sorry nothing worked. I wonder if running the Windows System File Checker would help. As Seen On. Welcome to Tech Support Guy! Here is how I finally managed to resolve it.

Searched for the framedyn. There may be more than one location where it may exist. I chose the one with the latest date. Using My Computer, opened the "wbem" directory. In my case, the framdyn. Simply dragged and dropped the file from location found in step 1 into the wbem directory. Restarted the computer, and voila! Add me to the list. Both locations do have the file, 2. I replaced it from a known good drive to both folders, no change, 3.

NO other program I started around 10 different programs to see has any issue including System Properties which that KB article was written for , 4.

Yes I did use a registry cleaner and read what was written here about them. It was CCleaner. No backup was done 5. I originally had V1. I'm not into rewriting 'paths' searching the registry is easy, paths are not. There was a entry "path" already there, but ti was for another app.

Their article caused confusion what else is new.
