Hi

I have a Compaq proliant server running W2k SP2.

Since a couple of days I'am receiving the followiing error each 15 to 20 secconds.

The error seems not to overload the server. I've looked onto Microsoft pages but I couldnt find anything.

What does the "NBF" Service is?
Does anyone can help me?

Regards

Alvaro Cornejo

Appears like the Perflib service registration has been corrupted. If its no big deal, the best option is to reload W2K.

This problem is caused by the failure of a dll to initialize properly upon loading where memory is allocated during initialization, but not de-allocated during clean-up.

Go to Compaq and try the following SoftPaq SP12969.
And apply or reapplythe latest service pack!

I recieved the error on most of our 35 NT Dell and HP servers, but it was related to our backup utility and didn't occur as frequently as you have noted. SP6a solved our troubles.
