Getting error "usbperf data collection failed" by the hundreds

[Imageman]

I was pursuing a Windows Live Mail problem, and on Mac's advice in the WLM
group, I checked my error log, and found that I am getting "usbperf data
collection failed" errors by the hundreds, with the following information;
I'm not a Vista or computer expert, and have no idea what this means? Can
you help resolve this? Windows Knowledgebase was no help - Thanks for your
help, IM

There isn't a lot of information on this particular error message, anywhere
that I can find? I have also tried to recreate the behavior and have been
unable to?

The only thing that is known is that it has to do with with USB drives on
the system. One user stated that he experienced the problem when he removed
an external USB hard disk drive that had been plugged into the system for an
extended period. He resolved the problem by plugging the drive back into the
system and then removing it using the "Safely remove hardware" app in the
Notification Area, by the clock.

Tip:
When you copy an error message from the Event Viewer, make sure that you
include the top part of the details dialog. The "event xmlns" data is
useless unless we have access to your system. The top part of the details
should look similar to this:
