    the NTIOWP service on my machine says..

     

    Event Log (System):

     

    'The NTIOWP service failed to start due to the following error:

    The system cannot find the file specified.'

     

    Event Log (Application):

     

    'Installing the performance counter strings for ContentIndex failed. The Error code is DWORD 0 of the Record Data.'

     

    'The performance strings in the registry do not match the index values stored in the Perflib key. The Record Data contains the last index value from the Perflib key in DWORD 0 and the index of the last string used as DWORD 1.'

     

    Device Manager:

     

    'This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)'

     

    What is this service and how can i repair it?

    I've been having a complete nightmare trying to get my computer stable under 2k for ages now.. certain games i.e shogo or UT based games (especially Deus Ex) lock up the machine (black screen) on startup or crash on exit with '0xC0000005 access violation' errors (sometimes happens with IE6 too).

     

    In addition to this I ocasionally get BSOD, either 'stop 0XA1 IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL' or 'stop 0xE1 KMODE_EXECPTION in ks.sys'.

     

    In general performance is sluggish too.

     

    Any ideas what the problem could be or where I might start looking?
