Hello bassbag,

On the right pane press the PLUS sign and you can add the counters you like.

Re: Administrative tools >Performance console

Have you selected or "added" counters to be monitored? Click on the +
button on top of the graph. Read the help file for more help.

Thanks for reply
If i try to add a counter ,the process mmc.exe proceeds to use 100% cpu
which usually results in the performance monitor hanging with a
"white" screen.I then have to use task manager to close the process.

This results in the performance monitor gui hanging "white" at 100% cpu
usage,which i then have to terminate with taskmanger.An event viewer
log is also generated with this error.....
.........................
Perflib
The open procedure for service "PerfDisk" in DLL
"C:\WINNT\system32\perfdisk.dll" has taken longer than the established
wait time to complete. There may be a problem with this extensible
counter or the service it is collecting data from or the system may
have been very busy when this call was attempted.

Re: Administrative tools >Performance console

Hello bassbag,

Please post the complete event viewer error. Which counter do you try to
add to the console?

Here are 3 more event logs that seem to pop up ,that i guess may have
something to do with the problem?.These events are created by
winmgmt.exe upon rebooting the pc.These three entries happen every boot.
...................................
WMI ADAP was unable to load the ASP.NET performance library because it
returned invalid data: 0x0
...................................
WMI ADAP was unable to load the ASP.NET_2.0.50727 performance library
because it returned invalid data: 0x0

Hello...
Icant actually add any counter.Just clicking the add button results in
teh windows eggtimer popping up.The cpu then hits 100% (mmc.exe) is
responsible for this.The whole performance monitor gui then turns
white... i guess because all the cpu is being used so it cant render?.I
then have to terminate the process.If i leave it it just stays in that
state.

Re: Administrative tools >Performance console

You might give this a go.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266416


Also you can use a gui tool to manage counter exctrlst.exe the tool can be
found in the support\tools directory on your CD-Rom

I have followed the instructions given at the link you kindly supplied
,including dredging performance libraries and reregistering them
..I also incresed timeout in the perfdisk and perfproc
performance>collect and open entries (from 5000 to 10000).However none
of these has seemed to fix the problem :(
Ive also downloaded the extensible counter list tool and installed
it.This shows that performance counters are enabled.Im not sdure how to
interpret anything else that it shows?.see pic.

Re: Administrative tools >Performance console

I'm guessing the problem is not with the counters but because the system is
busy or overloaded. If you believe this *isn't* the case then these may
help.

Thank you for all your help.I do have an old system p3 733mhz 392
ram.However i am choosy with my apps and dont use any resource hogging
programes.Indeed my physical ram usually never drops below 160m of
ram.I know its low but i basically use this pc for browsing so dont
need huge amounts of ram.I use a cpu monitor in system tray to see if
its busy ,and after all my apps has loaded it usually sits on around 6%
cpu used.I have reinstalled sp4 but nothings altered.I will look at my
applications next to try and see if theres a problem there.I know that
my firewall (sygate pro) can sometimes take an age to load and its
process smc.exe can use a lot of processor when this happens.Ill
disable all my apps and go from there.If that doesnt work ill go
through all those links and try that ,so i guess i wont reply for a
little while.I hvanet really bothered with the performance monitor
before so dont know whther its always behaved that way on my
machine.Other than that my pc works fine with no problems that im aware
of.The thought of it not working though bugs me (even though i dont use
it i like things to work) and i may reinstall windows at some point
just to see if it ever did work on this system.
Thanks again for all your(and others)invaluable help ,and ill post back
with any results.

Re: Administrative tools >Performance console

As a last ditch you might also try from a 'Safe Mode' boot to rule out some
application interference.

I thought id try the safe mode route which you suggested and have had
mixed results ,but a favourable outcome.I had no problem adding
counters to the PM in safe mode and added two as an experiment.When i
tried to save that console though (it asked to overwite the original
perfmon.msc in system 32) it would not do it saying it couldnt overwite
it.I then navigated to the said system 32 folder and found the
perfmon.msc and strangley perfmon.exe.Both files opened performance
monitor.Anyway i renamed both files with a .txt extension.This allowed
me to save the performance monitor with the two counters that i had
just added ,back in to the system 32 folder.I then rebooted and clicked
performance monitor and indeed it is now working.One thing that still
doesnt work (but im not going to bother about it) is that i still
cannot add a counter without the original 100% cpu and freezing
problem.I now know though,that i can add whatever i want into it in
safemode and it will save ok.This is now an acceptable solution for me.
Thank you once again for your expert advice and to this excellent
group.I msure i will be asking more w2k questions in the future.
Thanks again.
