When I access "Reliability and Performance Monitor" under "Monitoring
Tools/Reliability Monitor" in the RHS window is the "System Stability Chart"
That chart is "stuck" on 25 April, it is the date of my x64 install. The
data set is for that date and that date only. When I ran x86 Vista, I had
entries from the initial install date up to and including the current date.
I have been trying to figure out why the entries aren't there and finally
decided that maybe a repair reinstall was needed.
