Unidentified System Error

[Gravis]

Does anybody have any idea what the following apparently system error is all about? I see that there are quite a lot of instances of this error in the log file over a long period of time. This particular error does not seem to affect the performance or the stability of my computer. I am running WinXP Pro on a DELL laptop w/ 1GHZ + 256MB RAM. See the attached pic for more details. By the way the link to Microsoft's Knowledge Base is of no help whatsover. I tried it and all the information it could give me was that there is no article about this particular error. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

It's just telling you that it is having a problem parsing one of the performance monitor strings, it won't effect your computer or such, in fact if you want you can disable the performance monitor service altogether unless you use it alot to monitor specific performance values

Thanks for the answer. I'll consider disabling the service as you suggested as I don't think it's of much use to me.
