Service Control Manager not found; Perfdisk waiting time exp

My friend's computer win2000, sp4, gives various one line errors,
citing a hex address. I wanted to reinstall windows over the current
windows. ;)

Dave wanted me to look at the event manager. It was late and they
rushed me out, but two showed up repeatedly:

1) "Service Control Manager not found".

2) "The timeout waiting for the performance data collection function
"PerfDisk" in the "C:\WINNT\system32\perfdisk.dll" Library to finish
has expired."

In addition, he cannot print or install another printer, apprarently
because spoolsv.exe is not running and when started, will only run for
a little bit or until I start to install another printer.

Anything these might share in common?

These ones may help but this isn't related to the printer issue you mention.
spools.exe should log a system event when it dies possibly along with others
of value. When you view the logged events in Event Viewer (double-click them
in the right-hand pane) in the upper right corner, third button down is a
copy to clipboard, then you can paste in the body of a reply message.

Yes, I think there was an entry for that the last time I looked, but
because I didn't have much time this time, I didn't try anything
regarding the printer.

Thanks a lot. I'm looking at them and having my friend look too.
