I am getting this error on the latest release (2.8). I have tried restarting and reinstalls with no success. I have been using PC Monitor for almost a ~year and this has only started recently.

Try enabling the diagnostic logging in Settings -> Diagnostics and start the service again. A trace.log file will be written in the installation folder, please email it to us.

just tried that and it does not generate the .log file.

im using win 7 64 bit.

Uninstall the app, delete the installation folder (if still there) and remove the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\PC Monitor. Restart and try to install the app again.

Also, is there any errors in the windows event log? Services that fail to start usually leave some marks in the system log.

huh i have same error

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.

To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.

have you cleared the install folder and reinstalled the app? A library is missing for some reason, a reinstall will fix this.

ok i reinstall the app and for now everything is ok. i mess something with plugins, maybe that was the problem, i see new version 2.8.1. change log

If you have a malfunctioning plugin PC Monitor will only stop loading it and release it from the memory, so any bad plugins cannot stop the functionality of the core application.

hehe ok paul thanks for explanation, anyway i reinstall app on my pc and everything is ok.
