I run into an issue with one of my PC's no longer being able to run the PC Monitor Service. It seems to have started approx. 30 days ago. I've since uninstalled PC Monitor, rebooted and reinstalled with the same result.

The service will start, but will stop itself 10 secs later.

Anyone know what may be stopping the service? I've logged into the PC Monitor Manager and made sure it was connected.

this is not a bug - press the "Validate Account" button in the PC Monitor Manager - I suspect your user/pass is wrong.

Thanks,

I did do that after I imported my saved settings and it validated. I've rebooted a couple of times since then, so following your advice above I find the password is wrong.

At least it's working again.

You're welcome, glad it works.

I'm getting the same issue. However, I am able to validate the account. I see in the event viewer there is an error message about msvcr80.dll. I have included the event log below. I have uninstalled and reinstalled as well to no avail. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

This is a .NET issue, we are investigating.

 

It appears to affect only a limited number of Windows 8.1 installations.

 

Could you please download and run the .NET Framework Repair Tool from:
