Try salvage AFTER it reset successfully?

Tried running it again right after that and it said reset successfully. So let's see where this goes...

WMI repository reset failed
Error code: 0x8007041B
Facility: Win32
Description: A stop control has been sent to a service that other running services are dependent
on.

Ok - I had tried that last one, but misread it. So I just tried it again and got the same blasted error...ARGH. It should NOT be this difficult - LOL.

Any more suggestions?

This is the response I get when I query the repository. I tried this before but tried it again this morning just in case it got jacked...

Still no go. I get the same error as I was before:
