SYMPTOMS
When you uninstall the Quality of Service (QoS) Packet Scheduler service, and then you try to add performance counters in the performance monitor on a Windows Server 2003-based computer, the following event is logged in the Application log: Event Type: Error

Event Source: Perflib

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1008

Date: 

Time: 

User: N/A

Computer: 

Description: The Open Procedure for service &quot;PSched&quot; in DLL &quot;C:\WINDOWS\system32\pschdprf.dll&quot; failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. The Status code returned is the first DWORD in the attached data. Data: 0000: 02 00 00 00



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the system removes the Pschdprf.dll file but does not remove the following registry values when the QoS Packet Scheduler is removed:
