I am receiving many errors in event viewer relating to the VSS
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error creating the Shadow Copy Provider
COM class
Event ID: 13 & 12292

Also Information errors ID: 8224
The VSS service is shutting down due to idle timeout.

I have removed Diskeeper thinking it was that but still received the errors
I have completely removed Symantec Ghost but still happens

Not sure what is causing this
