For once, the error message is right! Run exctrlst, and then…umm…now what? One more line of info and you wouldn’t have had to search for the solution. Select PerfOS<\/strong> from the list and make sure the Performance Counters Enabled<\/strong> box is checked. Then select PerfProc<\/strong> and make sure it has the checkbox checked too. Close the window and your problem is solved!<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> If you do not have the Exctrlst tool, you can also resolve the problem by editing the registry manually. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\services\\PerfOS\\Performance<\/strong> and make sure the Disable Performance Counters<\/strong> value is set to REG_DWORD 0. Similarly, check the value under the PerfProc<\/strong> key. A reboot may be required for the change to take effect.<\/p>\n
