OK. I think I can help here. WMI is a COM/DCOM-based technology. Windows services are inherently multithreaded. Therefore you need to Initialize a COM threading model specifically even though you're not really using threads yourself. Try putting: import pythoncom pythoncom.CoInitialize () somewhere before the line which instantiates the WMI object (the one you quoted above). I have no idea why this usually manifests itself as a "Syntax Error" but it does! TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
