I noticed a problem in our Dev Window 2003 box with the Performance Objects (PerfMon). One of our Windows Services uses the Performance Counter API in the code. It was failing because of not being able to measure run the Performance Counter. In short, in order to rebuild the Performance Counters on your machine, run on command prompt

lodctr /R

Detailed information is here. Hope this helps someone.

  Thanks, that worked on my server. I looked at that kb article and their procedure would have taken forever. Yours was short and sweet.
