I just upgraded my Virtual Center to vCenter 4 and I am using vSphere to connect to the vCenter. Everything looks good but when I go to check Performance > Overview I get Error Message
“Perf Charts service experienced and internal error.”
Message: Report application initialization is not completed successfully. Retry in 60 seconds.
Quick fix that worked for me.
1 . Close all sessions of vSphere Client.
2. Go Start > Administrative Tools > Services
3. Find VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices
a. Right Click Stop (Don’t do a restart, wait for the service to stop)
b. Right Click Start (This will stop and start the Tomcat Server)
4. Don’t close Services.mmc but find a service SQL Server Browser
a. Right Click > Properties
b. Change Startup Type: Automatic
c. OK
d. Right Click and Start the Service
5. Login into vCenter and Look at Performance > Overview you should see Nice Graphs of CPU, Memory, Disk. You have options to pick between History Graphs and Real-time Graphs.

You are welcome, VMware has all kinds of forums, white papers, but it is tough to find the solution for your problem, it take a lot of digging.

Yes, have to agree 100% with that
Many thanks for the info, I had exactly the same problem, but it was as it turned out by your post, caused by me trying to optimise the system and cutting down on some sql services!
Your fix worked first time.
Kind regards

You Welcome. The more I use VMware the more I like it, Except when it comes to an error Like “Client Error Perf Charts service experienced and internal error”, but once I get everything running I just enjoy the benefits of Virtualization.
