Error running program

[Guest]

I have three XP computers running a program two of which run the program
fine. The third computer however when I try and start the application I am
getting an error "Process performance counter is disabled, so the request
operation cannot be preformed". When I searched for the error in Microsoft it
states the doc has been removed.

Anyone have any suggestions? What up with this performance counter?????
Thanks.

What program?
What is the EventID of the error (go to Control Panel -> Administrative
Services -> Event Viewer and look for your error in there and then get the
number from the Event column.

Logon with Administrative privileges and start Regedit. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PerfProc\Performance
and set the value of the DWORD "Disable Performance Counters" to '0'.

What up with this performance counter?

Some poor third-party Internet security software and/or Anti-Virus may
disable performance counters in Windows.
