Windows Vista Reliability and Performance Monitor

[Lou]

I would like to reset (clear out) the Software (Un)Install report produced
by the Reliability Monitor.

Prior to 12/31/2007 the report seemed to be an accurate reflection of the
install and uninstall activities on my system. On 12/31/2007 the
(Un)Install report reported the installation and configuration changes of
numerous applications and updates, all of which had occurred days or weeks
earlier. Every day since 12/31/2007 the (Un)Install report contains a large
number of install and uninstall activity. The odd thing is it is never the
exact same report as the prior day although each report contains a large
number of items.

Thanks for any clues.

RE: Reliability and Performance Monitor

I am having the exact same issue, although mine started last year some time.
I get multiple entries every day that state as the activity: Application
Configuration Change. The list contains every application install or update
that has been done on my computer so far, and many have multiple entries.
This shows up even though i haven't installed anything or changed anything.
Based on another post, I deleted the activity logs for the monitor, but all
that did was to erase past entries. New entries after the deletion point
still show everything that has been installed on the computer over and over.

I hope someone figures this out because it renders the monitor useless as a
tool to investigate issues.
