On one of my Win2000 sp2 I'm getting a "error vcdif.exe please reboot"
I looked in the event viewer and all I see is
Error:
Perfnet, event # 2004
Unable to open the server performance data will not be returned. Error code returned is data DWORD 0: bits: 0000:34 00 c0 words: 0000: c0000034

Any suggestions out there ?

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/cook/problems.htm has this information.

"If you get any error messages relating to any of the performance counters such as perfmon, perfnet, perfdisk, perfctrs (including the common error: Unable to read IO control information from NBT device) you can manually disable the individual monitors using the programme exctrlst.exe, in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. The file can be downloaded. Simply run the programme, and uncheck the Performance Counters Enabled box against any counters you wish to disable."

Here is the files location:
