Reliability Monitor not working after new install

A month ago, I purchased a copy of Vista Ultimate OEM version and did a dual
installation with XP. The install ran without problem, however, after the
initial install the reliabilty monitor never worked.

Yesterday I attempted a re-install of Vista with the intent on eliminating
the dual boot aspect of the installation (I have XP on 1 removable drive and
Vista on the other). Once again the installation went without problem.
However, checking with the RM, I get a message that it's either not been 24
hours or it's corrupted and has been reset. This is the same message I got on
the 1st installation and while it hasn't been exactly 24 hours yet, I'm
assuming that it's not going to start to suddenly work.

This was a clean install, freshly formated partition, no other software yet
installed other than anti-virus. All available updates have been downloaded.

This really bothers me. Anyone have some thoughts, suggestions or advice?
I'd really like to figure this one out. I'm suspecting at this point is more
than likely a rights issue, but I'm not positive. I did set up the computer
the 2nd time exactly the same way as the 1st time (i.e. same account
name/password/computer name, etc.)

Anyone?
 
I'm posting a follow up on this issue in case someone else comes across this
problem.

After waiting 48 hours for RM to update I decided to perform an 'upgrade' of
my new installation. I assumed that if RM was failing because of a rights
issue, an install over a updated and mostly working version might fix this
problem.

My machine was pretty much the way the 1st installation left it. I had
downloaded and installed all available updates and the only program installed
was Avast anti-virus when I began the upgrade. I also had not activated Vista
yet.

I performed the upgrade and at first it appeared after the upgrade that
nothing had changed in the RM. However, 24 hours later, it had indeed updated
my system with all the newly upgraded drivers. Now 48 hours later I have
another entry and at this point it would appear that upgrading over the new
install fixed this problem. At this point I know of no other solution.

Hope this helps someone.

How did you do an upgrade over an installed version of Vista with an OEM
copy of Vista?
 
I have the same question given that I have the exact same problem and the
same scenario.

Ok, I have the same question. How did you do an upgrade of an installed
version of Vista using an OEM version of Vista?
