Exact error:

System error 1075 has occurred.
The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.

Symptom:
Viewing any Windows XP/Vista service "Dependencies" tab in Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, throw an error.

Possibly cause(s):
Broken Windows Management Instrumentation repository.

Purpose:
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the infrastructure for management data and operations on Windows-based operating systems. You can write WMI scripts or applications to automate administrative tasks on remote computers but WMI also supplies management data to other parts of the operating system and products, for example System Center Operations Manager, formerly Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM), or Windows Remote Management ( WinRM). Taken from here.

Cure:
Note: all of the commands below executed from Windows command line.

• Stop WMI service:

  net stop winmgmt
  

• We will rebuild the repository, rename the folder to something else as a backup.

  ren %windir%\System32\Wbem\Repository Repository_old
  

• Start WMI service:

  net start winmgmt
  

• Repair the repository:
  • Windows XP:

    rundll32 wbemupgd, UpgradeRepository
    

    
    
  • Windows Vista:

    winmgmt  /salvagerepository
    

    
    
• Register the new WMI components:

  cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
  

  
  

  for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i
  

  
  

  for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer
  

• Reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

That should fixed your WMI repository.

If all above steps doesn't work for you, try comprehensive rebuild below:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection WBEM 132 %windir%\inf\wbemoc.inf

Above command will ask for your Windows XP/Vista installation disc.

Good luck.
