Hi, Reposting this to try to get a response. Any help on these Windows Event
errors appreciated.

Hi,
I have a PC that seems to bring up a couple of errors in the event viewer
and the computer also runs extremely slowly at times. They might be
connected and I don't know what they relate too. Any advice would be great.
These events seem to occur every 30 minutes one straight after the other and
all the time.

Here are the two event errors. I have no idea what PSS is.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: ESENT
Event Category: Logging/Recovery
Event ID: 494
Date: 15/02/2008
Time: 08:31:15
User: N/A
Computer: DAWN
Description:
wuauclt (2456) Database recovery failed with error -1216 because it
encountered references to a database,
'C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb', which is no
longer present. The database was not brought to a consistent state before it
was removed (or possibly moved or renamed). The database engine will not
permit recovery to complete for this instance until the missing database is
re-instated. If the database is truly no longer available and no longer
required, please contact PSS for further instructions regarding the steps
required in order to allow recovery to proceed without this database.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: ESENT
Event Category: Logging/Recovery
Event ID: 454
Date: 15/02/2008
Time: 08:31:15
User: N/A
Computer: DAWN
Description:
wuauclt (2456) Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error -1216.
