Hi,

You haven't by any chance PowerChute 6.x UPS software (APC) installed
on the computer?

If so, upgrade it to v7 or uninstall it.


PowerChute 6.x cases a lot of issues, much more than what is described
here:

PowerChute Business Edition - Customers Using 6.x Must Upgrade to 7.x
due to Java Runtime Environment expiration
http://nam-en.apc.com/cgi-bin/nam_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=7202


This is how you can disable the PowerChute service if you are unable to
uninstall it:

Start Regedit.exe

Locate the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\APCPBESERVER
Set the "Start" value to 4 (means disabled)

Locate the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\APCPBEAGENT
Set the "Start" value to 4 (means disabled)

Reboot the computer.

Thanks for the reply Torgeir

Unfortunately that does not appear to be the issue. I checked the
Registry, from both before and after Windows Update, and neither "Key"
is present.

Any other ideas?

Incidentally, how many "perflib_Perfdata_*.dat" files should normally be
present on a typical user's system? I appear to have about 60, give or
take one or two. Is this normal, and if values are missing in one of
these files causing the errors, how do I either edit them to insert the
missing value, or regenerate the correct file?
