RACTask - MVP Question
I'm trying to use the reliability monitor but it says that I may need to turn on or reconfigure RACTask to use it.Does anyone know where RACTask is or how to reconfigure it?ThanksMark

Is this problem because Windows 7 is still in beta?

The RACTask scheduled task runs by default after the operating system is installed. If it is disabled, it must be enabled manually from the Task Scheduler snap-in for Microsoft Management Console (MMC). To enable the RACTask scheduled task Open Control Panel and select All Control Panel Items. Navigate to Administrative Tools / Task Scheduler. In the Task Scheduler navigation pane, expand Task Scheduler Library, expand Microsoft, expand Windows. Right-click RAC, click View, and click Show Hidden Tasks. Right click RACTask in the results pane and click Enable. Right click RACTask again and select Run.NOTE: It may take some time before the task runs, be patient.Let us know the results.

Sorry it took so long to reply Ronnie but your solution didn't work for me. It may be the correct answer but I think my install was a little corrupted. I did a reformat/reinstall of Windows 7 and now the Reliability Monitor works fine.Mark
