My brother was having with his reliability monitor that stopped working 10/28/08. His os is Vista 64 Ultimate. Here is what worked to get his reliability monitor working again:
Go to control panel, click classic view, click administrative tools, then click event viewer. In the first column expand "Windows Logs" and click "System". In the 3rd column under "Actions", click "Clear Log", then "Clear and Save".
The center column had a "data is invalid (13)" error when he accessed the event viewer. After reading some posts, along with some trial and error, we finally got the above solution to solve his problem.
He noticed in a few minutes that it updated to 11/08. Then a little while later it was showing history to 12/08. By the next morning, his reliability monitor was updated to the current date of 03/14/09. All his previous data was saved and he has a fully functioning reliability monitor. I am happy to report that mine has been working fine for over a year. I just wanted to share the solution.
I hope this helps someone in the same situation...:D
