   WIN32 Error number is returned in the data.

CAUSE

It has been confirmed that versions earlier than version 3.5 of Compaq's Insight Manager (CIM) conflict with Performance Counters, thereby causing these errors to occur.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
  • Disable Compaq's Insight Manager Agent from the Control Panel Services tool.
  • Install Compaq's Insight Manager version 3.5 or later from their Support Software Diskette (SSD).

MORE INFORMATION

All the application event logs mentioned above are related to a conflict between CIM and Performance Monitor Counters used by either Windows NT services or applications installed, such as SNA Server, TCP/IP, TAPI (Telephony API) and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

This event can also be seen in relationship to other services that are associated with Compaq Inside Management Agent as recently as Version 6.0. The Event 1010 references TCP/IP instead of SNA. Stopping the Compaq NIC Agent will stop the event from being logged.
