Well that stopped it!  Thank you.

But what am I missing?  Anything?

Quite a few hits for this problem.

The best I foud was : 
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprovirt/thread/90387e52
-dcb9-4137-b7
8f-25c2026a680b/

which details several possible causes and solutions.

First  thing I'd do is go into Control Panel\System and
Security\Administrative Tools\Services, scroll down to Windows Management
Instrumentation, Right click and select Properties and set it to  "Manual"
or "Disabled".  Then Stop the service
