SQL Server Configuration Manager error

I am getting the error: "Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable."

I tried the solution posted on the Microsoft support page involving a command prompt and the mofcomp "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\<var class="sbody-var">number</var>\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

This still does not fix the problem, the result of running the above is:

Parsing MOF file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\sqlmgmp
roviderxpsp2up.mof
MOF file has been successfully parsed
Storing data in the repository...
An error occurred while processing item 1 defined on lines 4 - 7 in file C:\Prog
ram Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof:
Error Number: 0x80041003, Facility: WMI
Description: Access denied
Compiler returned error 0x80041003

Is there way to completely re-install the Configuration Manager? One post suggested the Access denied was Administrator rights but I have full Administrative rights to everything so I don't see that being the problem. The command prompt is not working, what other solution can you suggest?

Thank you! The second link above had one detail I had not seen before regarding the "right-click Command Prompt and  Run as administrator". I had been running a command prompt and getting frustrated but when I right clicked and ran the same command the mofcomp ran successfully and seems to have corrected the problem. There are lots of other links telling what to run in the command window but this one detail was the key for me.
