Errors

Folks,
This might not be SQL Server related, but nevertheless, it brought our production sql server to a halt. Does anyone know what these entries mean?
System log:-
Event Type:Error
Event Source:Perflib
Event Category:None
Event ID:1015
Date:7/20/2004
Time:4:24:56 AM
User:N/A
Computer:TOROONDC975
Description:
The timeout waiting for the performance data collection function
"PerfOS" in the "C:\WINNT\system32\perfos.dll" Library to finish
has expired. There may be a problem with this extensible counter
or the service it is collecting data from or the system may have
been very busy when this call was attempted.
Application log:-
Event Type:Information
Event Source:Application Popup
Event Category:None
Event ID:26
Date:7/20/2004
Time:6:45:21 PM
User:N/A
Computer:TOROONDC975
Description:
Application popup: cmd.exe - Application Error : The application
failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate
the application.
Any guidance is much appreciated.
Karthik.
PS: We are running
SQL 2K Enterprise Edition SP3
Windows 2K Advanced Server

|||Well, it occured on a server that happened to be our production SQL Server. Not really a SQL Server error. Anyways, the reason this brought our server down was because there was about 150 CMD.EXE running when we looked at the unresponsive server in the mo
rning. And we found the errors I have attached in the event viewer.
Thanks.
