I opened an Administrator command prompt window today to run the Resources and Performance Monitor via the perfmon /report command and after a few seconds of scanning performance, it presents me with the following error:

An error occurred while attempting to generate the report. Access Denied.

I even tried turning off Webroot (my malware and virus scanner) to run the command, but I end up with the same result.

C:\perflogs\System\Diagnostics\ in there are there all the xml file things (mabey specific one it didnt make ~39) ? Is the name of the computer so weird that it made a bad folder? Are some services turned off? Is it possible that it could have been effected by a temp system enviroment variable? because other programs messing with env variables and making a mess , and perf stuff often uses temps . (today would be the first time i had used it, so i am just trying to think of possibles.) – Psycogeek Dec 21 '11 at 5:04

I've only got C:\Perflogs\Admin\ and that folder is empty. The computer's name is leeand00-laptop, that doesn't seem like it would cause an issue...I'm able to create that folder. – leeand00 Dec 21 '11 at 7:01

I did at one point go through and make some changes to the services to eeek a bit more performance out of the system...so that one has potential. I think I'll go find out what services are dependent on perfmon... – leeand00 Dec 21 '11 at 7:02
My ENV Variables should be okay...I do all of my development in VMs. – leeand00 Dec 21 '11 at 7:03

no folder for the xmls <-- this and--> after a few seconds of scanning might indicate it didnt get very far? like even the first report? – Psycogeek Dec 21 '11 at 7:14
