Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Performance and Maintainance / December 2006Reliability Monitor
Hello, I am running Windows Vista Ultimate RTM and cannot seem to get the reliability monitor to work. Each time I go to it it states it's either not been running 24 hours or is corrupted and been reset. Can someone point me in the direction of the services I need to turn on / check to get this working? I don't want to reinstall if I can help it. Thanks, Alex. Hi Alexander, From it's help files, this may contain a clue as to which dependency is falling down: <quote> Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor combines the functionality of previous stand-alone tools including Performance Logs and Alerts (PLA), Server Performance Advisor (SPA), and System Monitor. It provides a graphical interface for the customization of Data Collector Sets and Event Trace Sessions. Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor consists of three monitoring tools: Resource View, Performance Monitor, and Reliability Monitor. Data collection and logging is performed using Data Collector Sets. <end> So those are the services that you need to make sure are either running, or set to restart on failure.

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. > Hi Alexander, > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >> >> Alex. Hi, Run an elevated command prompt, from the prompt run 'net start eventlog'. What happens?

Hi Alexander, Sounds like it is having trouble invoking a file, from that same elevated prompt, run sfc /scannow. The file may be corrupt.

C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow Beginning system scan. This process will take some time. Beginning verification phase of system scan. Verification 98% complete. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations. Still no luck. Any other ideas or is a reinstall on the cards? Thanks Alex. > Hi Alexander, > [quoted text clipped - 96 lines] >>>>>> >>>>>> Alex. Hi Alexander, No, it's not looking good. I was hoping it was a corrupt file, and the file checker would have caught that in the comparisons. Check for the existence of the following files in the \system32 folder: eventcls.dll eventcreate.exe eventviewer_eventdetails.xsl eventvwr.exe eventvwr.msc SignatureBest of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org > C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow > [quoted text clipped - 113 lines] >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Alex. Hi Rick, They were all there. I bit the bullet on Christmas Eve and reinstalled. All is working fine now. Thanks for the assistance. alex. > Hi Alexander, > [quoted text clipped - 127 lines] >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> Alex. |
