Icant actually add any counter.Just clicking the add button results in teh windows eggtimer popping up.The cpu then hits 100% (mmc.exe) is responsible for this.The whole performance monitor gui then turns white... i guess because all the cpu is being used so it cant render?.I then have to terminate the process.If i leave it it just stays in that state. me

I thought id try the safe mode route which you suggested and have had mixed results ,but a favourable outcome.I had no problem adding counters to the PM in safe mode and added two as an experiment.When i tried to save that console though (it asked to overwite the original perfmon.msc in system 32) it would not do it saying it couldnt overwite it.I then navigated to the said system 32 folder and found the perfmon.msc and strangley perfmon.exe.Both files opened performance monitor.Anyway i renamed both files with a .txt extension.This allowed me to save the performance monitor with the two counters that i had just added ,back in to the system 32 folder.I then rebooted and clicked performance monitor and indeed it is now working.One thing that still doesnt work (but im not going to bother about it) is that i still cannot add a counter without the original 100% cpu and freezing problem.I now know though,that i can add whatever i want into it in safemode and it will save ok.This is now an acceptable solution for me. Thank you once again for your expert advice and to this excellent group.I msure i will be asking more w2k questions in the future. Thanks again. me --
