Question : Windows 2000 Perflib 1008 application eventlog error log multiple times every second

Hi,

This question already has been auto-deleted once with no comments.
Please try to help me out.

Recently I had to install .NET framework 2.0 on our Win2K (SP4+) DC for a new custom made service.
After doing so I started encountering application errors in the event logs.
I found a solution for those error, though only ended up replacing it with a new one.
This error is being recorded 2 - 7 times every second!!

Event Type:      Error
Event Source:      Perflib
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      1008
Date:            06/06/2008
Time:            12:32:53
User:            N/A
Computer:      TRAXXSERVER
Description:
The Open Procedure for service "PerfDisk" in DLL "C:\WINNT\system32\perfdisk.dll" failed.  Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code  returned is data DWORD 0.
Data:
0000: 68 10 00 00               h...    

I found this MS KB which describes it nearly perfectly, only the eventID is different.
After contacting MS they sent me the hotfix.
I installed it and rebooted. Still the errors are streaming in.

I have also run "DiskPerf -N" from the cmd.
Also no change.
How can I see if they really are disabled?

Can anyone give me a hand fixing this?

Thanks

To prevent the performance counter library (Perflib) from checking counters, you can disable the Extensible Performance Counters library or remove it (this will stop 1008 events in general)

Use the Extensible Counter tool (ExCtrlLst.exe) to disable the Perfctrs.dll performance counters, follow these steps:
1. Start the Exctrlst.exe tool. This tool is in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit.  
2. Select the DLL (Perfctrs.dll) that did not open in the Extensible Performance Counters list box.  
3. Click to clear the Performance Counters Enabled check box.  
4. Restart the computer.
