shodan Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi,I'm running Windows 2003 R2 x64, nlited with 1.2.1after installing nvidia drivers (but it could be something else , like running windows update, but I'm fairly certain the culprit is either nvidia nforce or video drivers)I got the following symptomsopening "Computer Management" I had a popup sayingsnap-in failed to initializeName: performance logsalso trying to start manually start the "Performance Logs and Alerts" would failstarting it via the console would say something to the effect that it failed and "pdh.dll was not found"although the file was presentalso trying to install Disk keeper would fail, because during the install it tries to start the service and if that fails the install failsmanually running Diskeeper\DkService.exe would also give the same error as runningC:\SYSTEM\PROGRAMS\WINDOWS\system32\smlogsvc.exe (Performance Logs and Alerts)on an unrelated note please be careful , if you search for a file that is in your windows/system32 from outside of windowsfor example searching "pdh.dll" by opening c:\, then hitting F3 and searching for it would yield no result even if the file is present, this is part of windows' babysitting algorythm that search does not return files from windows or windows/system32 so make sure when you search for a file that the search path is at least "c:\windows"the fix was simply to overwrite SMLOGCFG.dll from an original from your install CD and then re-registering it with regsvr32 smlogcfg.dllfollowing the total lack of response posts from my last post I am not interested in documenting this further without resquestbyeshodan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
