Unable to get uptime for the machine

Hi. I recently had a problem getting systeminfo to work. The issue was my path was incorrect. It was showing c:\ystem32, once I corrected it to c:\windows\system32, all was working fine. Now when I type in systeminfo in a cmd prompt, everything shows except the uptime. It has N/A instead of shwoing the actual uptime. Could this be because I moved the paging file to the Drive. I don't see the relation, but that is the only thing I changed on the PC.

Note: My path is still correct in case you wanted to know.

Thank you

Hi everyone. Thanks for getting back to me. tried both solutuins, nothing happening at all. Even the uptime.exe, nothing comes back. Weird, because I used to see my uptime when I used systeminfo within a cmd prompt. Now it doesn't display, just says N/A. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Hi sramesh2k,
I verified and the WMI was set to automatic and was started. I stopped it, re-started it, same issue. What boggles my mind is when I had this problem the other time, but systeminfo wouldn't work, because my path was wrong, when I corrected it, it was working fine, now a few days ago, try it, now all gets displayed except the uptime. Weird. Thank for the tip. Would appreciate another good idea however. Have a good day.

Thanks guys for getting back to me. Well process monitor couldn't give me any details, well as far as I know. I did download uptime.exe, it's ok, works well, saved it as a batch file. However, I hate it when something is not working on my PC. I always try to find out on my own, then I come here for answers. I would really like to know why the uptime is displaying N/A. Something must be turned off. I copied the systeminfo.exe file form my other PC to this one, same issue. I tried to look in services if there was something, nothing I found anyways. Thanks.

Sorry about the point spread. I really appreciate everyone's input and help on this one. I re-formatted my PC a few days ago. Hadn't done a fresh install since Sept 2003. So I was well ovrdue. Thank you all.
