Help to resolve <<Process performance counter is disabled, so the requested operation cannot be perf

[dreamamit2001]

Hi,

I have a query on Process Performance Counter in
System.Diagnostics.Process FAQ section.

We have developed VB.NET Application named office solutions, which
gives the following Error on

Win XP Pro, 5.1.2600 sp1 configuration

System.InvalidOperationException: Process performance counter is
disabled, so the requested operation cannot be performed.

at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32

msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

shoud it work on above configuration??

Please help us how we can resolve above Error? How we can Enable the
Process performance counter?

Hi,
It could be because the perf. counter might be disabled. Check [1] for
details on how to enable it.
