Well, poop.

Here are the c:\windows\system32 files that you need to verify:

tcpmib.dll
tcpmon.dll
tcpmonui.dll
tcpmon.ini

The DLLS are Windows File Protected files, so they should not be
missing - if they are missing something else may be wrong.

If you are suspicious of the DLLs, stop the Print Spooler and delete
the 3 DLL files. WFP should quickly and silently replace them with
good copies (in a few seconds). If that does not happen you have
another problem.

You can copy the tcpmon.ini from a working system - it is not a WFP
protected file.

If you just add the files or make the registry change and don't
restart the Print Spooler (or reboot) you will not see any difference,
so be sure to restart the Print Spooler.

I replaced the aforementioned files using the DLL cache and it seems
to be working correctly now. Thanks!
