Was wondering if anyone could tell me how to fix my performance counters. Keep getting this error when i try to use an application.

Running Windows XP Pro SP2

Are you actually having problems running applications or are you just curious about the PC log?

Or is this an application you are developing?

General Google on the error:

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...r+is+disabled+

having problems running the applications, tried changing the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\PerfProc\Performance
REG_DWORD Disable Performance Counters

1 and 0, when i turned it to 1 and i started the applications it came up with a error right at the start asking if i wanted them enabled, so i clicked yes and it didnt change anything. Ended up changing back to 0 since that is considered on.

Edit*
Well Just looked n saw a XP SP3 update going to try that n see what happenes with the Counters

Edit2* XP SP3 change didnt do anything for the counters.

Just to note "edits" leave no indication of posting. Please post a new post with any new info.

Here is another post I see:

Do you have the perfc009.dat and perfh009.dat files in your c:\windows\system32 directory?


If you have your XP CD, you can expand those 2 files from i386 directory and copy them into c:\windows\system32


Also:


Open up regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\PerfProc\Performance

Do you have a key there labeled Disable Performance Counters? If so delete that key. Reboot and try again.

Please backup your registry before deleting anything.

Even if you have those perf files they may have been corrupted. Is there an application associated with them other than Windows?

Also:

What are the applications that are causing this issue?
