This is the error that I get all the time anyone know what it is about?

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Perflib
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1015
Date: 2/27/2001
Time: 4:26:40 PM
User: N/A
Computer: BLUE
Description:
The timeout waiting for the performance data collection function "Spooler" in the "C:\WINNT\System32\winspool.drv" Library to finish has expired. There may be a problem with this extensible counter or the service it is collecting data from or the system may have been very busy when this call was attempted.
 
You really don't have anything to worry about, unless you are going to do performance monitoring of your system. All this message is telling you is that the performance counter for the local print spooler timed out while trying to load.

One area that I would look at is the amount of free space you have and also the amount of physical RAM you have in your system. I would also check to make sure that your swapfile is big enough, usually about AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL RAM * 2.

I would then make sure that you have SP1 installed.

Let me know if this solves your problem or if you do solve it with another solution.
 
Or, you could just use exctrlst.exe (from the resource kit) to kill the extensible counter list for winspool.drv. 😀

(If I don't like an error message, I just turn it off. I wouldn't worry about it unless I were actually experiencing problems with the item the counter was designed to monitor.)

Regards,
Jim
