I installed Oracle 11g on Windows Vista and I get the following error message:
nmefwmi.exe has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem. Check online for a solution (recommended) ... or close.
This message pops up every few minutes and it is very annoying.

nmefwimi.exe is Oracle Enterprise Manager process and it is not critical in the sense what when it stops working it will not affect the database.
One of the solutions suggested on Internet forums is to change privilege level for nmefwmi.exe by selecting "Run this program as an administrator", however, this will not resolve anything.
This problem is caused by a bug in Oracle 11g and until it has been resolved we have to improvise around it. nmefwmi.exe process is associated with OracleDBConsoleorcl service. Go to Administrative Tools -> Services, stop the service and set the startup type to "Manual". When you need to use dbconsole, start the service manually, ignore the error, do what you have to do, and stop it again.
