Windows 7: perfmon /report

When I try to generate the report it's telling me the interface is unknown! Any ideas? Thanks

Can you please describe in more detail exactly what steps you're going through to try and produce a report?

Maybe a screenshot or two to show where you are when finally push the last button that results in your "interface is unknown"?

Typing perfmon /report in search box then hit enter. Thats it and it comes up with this:

Don't have any ideas just yet.

But just so that it's clear what the expected output looks like, on my own Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1 system when I enter "perfmon /report" in the Search area I get this screen first:



After a minute or two of gathering data, I then get the "report" output. Top half looks like this:



and the bottom part looks like this (I could expand each reporting group if I wanted to):




Just in passing, I expect it will produce exactly the same result, but you can also request the identical output directly from Control Panel:

Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Performance Information and Tools -> Advanced Tools, and then push the "Generate a system health report" link at the bottom of the page.

I'm not sure this "Performance Logs & Alerts" service is involved, but just in case I'm pointing it out... in case it is not "started" on your system.

Thanks dsperber for all your help, I went to Black Vipers site and was looking at all the default values for Windows 7 x64 services and found that quite a few of mine weren't starting, getting an error 4201 on most of them. After trying several things including resetting the Winmgmt repository and having no luck with the error, I finally understand what I did during install of the operating system..I grabbed my modded dvd of windows 7 instead of my full version of sp1 slip-streamed. I have since reinstalled the system since trying to correct those issues weren't panning out and it wasn't worth the time trying to figure it all out. To make a long story short all issues have been resolved and the system works flawlessly, not really worth having event logs and stuff not working especially when I rely on them so much with older hardware and such..Thanks again Seth
