Counters missing from Performance Monitor

[Kevin J. Nielsen]

I am talking about the performance monitor you get to from
Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Performance. With this tool, I used to
be able to see the exact speed that files were being copied to or from my
hard drive- bytes/second -(from the CD, DVD, other hard drives in my
computer, network, internet, etc..). Once you start this tool, you can
click on the '+' and add counters. I used to be able to add the
"physical disk" item and I could monitor my hard drive speed, but that item
is no longer available and I would like to know how to get it back. Any
ideas??

Thank You

Export the registry key from another XP system and apply it to the subject computer.

I'm confused as it's still there. If you go into the performance in the admin tools you will see a "System monitor" immediately under "console root" if you click that a graph will appear with real time display. The three colours are yellow for memory blue for physical disk and green for processor. I don't know what else to tell you. Clicking the System monitor will open the window with all sorts of display options for you to choose from. Right clicking in the open window will still allow you to choose the add feature but you can choose to click properties and then the three main displays will be shown to you. Clicking on them one at a time will open the discription window for each. e:mail me if you need more help. Good luck.

How can I export the registry from another copy of XP and use it on mine, no
two computers are the same and it would probably confuse my computer having
settings added in for hardware it doesnt have and software it doesnt have.
If I apply another machines registry to mine, will it overwrite my existing
registry? Unless there is a way to export only the performance monitor
settings. If so then how do I do it.

It might be there on your machine, but the "physical disk" performance
object is missing on my machine.
