Winmgmt errors in Win2k

[Scrub]

Hello,

My Win2k machine crashes without warning (usually when I'm using IE). In the application event log there are error messages that look like this:

Event Type: Error

I have tried to edit the 009 key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\009] but access is denied.

I have also run:
winmgmt /clearadap and winmgmt /resyncperf "winmgmt service pid"

If anyone can offer some help I'd really appreciate it!
