on person said was known issue with compaqs and other hardware where they installed their own performaance monitor and it cause errros until ununstalled. here is some more from www.eventid.net:
Per Microsoft: ?This behavior may occur if you use certain types of network adapters. The network adapter driver may return description strings to the CollectTcpIpPerformanceData function that do not contain null terminators. The sprintf function copies the description strings to a local variable. However, the sprintf function does not check to make sure that the strings are not too large for the local variable to hold. As a result, a buffer overflow may occur. Because the buffer is stored on the stack, the stack becomes corrupted. This corruption causes an access violation.? See Q819716.
