This event may occur for various applications. When the performance monitor
reads all counters for the first time, the extension's Open Procedure is
called. A typical task for the Open procedure is to read what range of
object indexes it supports from the registry. These index values are stored
in the First Counter, First Help, Last Counter, and Last Help registry
values under the application's performance key. If this Open procedure fails
to read the data (i.e. those entries don't exist or have been deleted by an
uninstall procedure) the 1008 event is recorded in the event log (see
Q247226 for more details). See Q247226 on how to fully install the
Performance Monitor Extentions. In order to remove such orphaned entries
typically one has to follow these steps:
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe or Regedit.exe)and go to the following
subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<service
name>:\Performance
Delete the value " Open ."
Restart your computer for this change to take effect.
