Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine

Hi,

I am trying to convert a physical machine running Windows XP SP3 into a virtual machine using vCenter Converter and I am having problems.  I installed the software as standalone and after I select "Local Machine" for the device to convert I get the message "Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine" when I press next.  I have read many posts with the same problem and tried what was suggested without success.  I am running the converter as administrator, I disabled both my anti-virus and firewall but still cannot get past this message.  I am hoping someone here may be able to help me.  I have attached the log files created by the software.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

tom.
