Hi Rick,
I had a look at it seems that the Performance Logs and Alerts service was
indeed not running. However after starting it the day before yesteday, I
looked today and it's still not working.
After looking around in the services, I noticed that the Windows Event Log
is not working either. When I go to the event viewer, I am presented with a
particular nasty Event Log Service is unavailable error. Trying to start
the Windows Event Log service resulted in a Error 3 : The system cannot find
the path specified.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
alex.
