maybe you guys can explain these to me.I was looking at my logs because I had a strange message from my comp, so I looked around to see if I could find what application was running I wasn’t aware of…
Application log: 192 entries
what is this…" the timeout waiting for the performance collection function " PrefProc" in the " C:\WINNT\system32\prefproc.dll" Library to finish has expired. there may have been a problem with this extensible counter or the service it is collecting data from or the system may have been very busy when this call was attempted"
under the heading: Source…Perflib
many enties have the same or similiar statements and may explain the " timed out " problem I was having
Timed outs were also under the Source heading: MS DTC ( whatever that is )
and what is an HDR file?
Security log: 0 entries
Event log: 1,950 entries
“Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM server using DefaultLaunchPermission.The server is (00020906-0000-0000-0000-000000000046).The user is unavailable SID=Unavailable”…Source: DCOM
97% of event log is the above statement…many within minutes of each other?
Thanks!
:good:
