I have installed PRTG Network Monitor Trial on my Windows Server 2012 Essentials. During or exactly after the installation my whole system freezes. No BlueScreen, no Reboot, i only see my freezed desktop.

If i reboot it via reset button/power loss all works fine till: - i want start PRTG Network Monitor or Enterprise Console -> Freeze - i want to uninstall PRTG Network Monitor -> Freeze

There is no log folder. Or i didnt find it. I searched the PRTG Folder in Programs and my User profiles.

This happened on my old installation and on my new installation(it is 18 hours old) the only thing installed are some drivers(tv card f.e.) and the MediaPortal TV Server.

Im no expert on windows logs, but they look normal.

Is this a know problem? Is there any solution, i didnt find?

Im glad for your help.
