pwrTest fail

[Guest]

Is there any condition we have to meet first to run pwrtest?
I install Vista and try to measure the S3 resume performance by pwrtest. But
when I executed pwrtest, it fail and show following message.

"ERROR: StartTrace failed -- : Access is denied."

Does anyone know what is the matter? Shall I enable anything first?

Thanks for your help.

Perhaps try running it as an administrator (Right-click, run as Administrator)?
Sounds like the UAC is blocking whatever hardware registers you're trying
to access or sees the test as harmful.
