Perfmon display numbers, not counters.

[jcrr]

When trying to add counters in perfmon, the list (performance objects and counters list) is populated with numbers rather than names.

Event viewer shows the following errors:

Source: perflib
Type: Error
EventID: 1008

The open procedure for service "x" in DLL "path to dll file" failed.
Performance data for this service will not be available. The status code returned is the first DWORD in the attached

(where "x" is one of the following: aspnet_state, ASP.NET_2.0.50727, ContentIndex, ContentFilter)

The dlls listed in the errors exist. (C:\WINDOWS\System32\query.dll and C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727)

Perhaps the perfmon problem and above errors in event viewer are unrelated, but thought they may be related, hence including the errors here too.

I need to be able to use perfmon, so the issue to be solved here is replacing those numbers in perfmon with the usual list of counters.

Many thanks.
