Full Text Search

I have a strange issue with full text search. I have a table that has only 700 records in it, when I enable full text search and follow the wizard the index is not getting build. the storage full text say it is populating and it never does. I have restarted the service and rebuild the index few times with no benefits. I can do the same steps on another server with the same database and it works just fine. does anyone have any hints or things I can try? Please help

Check what are privileges associated with the login used to create this fulltext, also check whether MSsearch service is up and running.

Did you get any errors or warnings during thsi process?

MSFTESQL is up and running. I don't get any errors when creating the Index. everything is successful status but when I am looking the property of the full text under storage the status is always "populating Catalog". The only error I can see is in the event viewer-

Performance Counters could not be loaded for msftesqlFD for instance MSSQLSERVER due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. 0x80070002.

not sure if this is related to full text search?

Please help.
