Hey guys,
every time I start my XP I get the following entry in the EventViewer
Event ID: 3012
Type: Error
Source: LoadPerf
The performance strings in the Performance registry value is corrupted when process Performance extension counter provider. BaseIndex value from Performance registry is the first DWORD in Data section, LastCounter value is the second DWORD in Data section, and LastHelp value is the third DWORD in Data section.
Then I get two info messages:
Performance counters for the WmiApRpl (WmiApRpl) service were removed successfully. The Record Data contains the new values of the system Last Counter and Last Help registry entries.
Performance counters for the WmiApRpl (WmiApRpl) service were loaded successfully. The Record Data contains the new index values assigned to this service.
And when I reboot, the same thing happens.
By reading on the web they all seem to suggest the LODCTR /R command from the command line, however on XP it seems to be returning a list of commands and in particular I can see:
LODCTR /R:<FileName> restore perf registry strings and info using <FileName>
So... the question is: what's "filename"?
I tried to
cd %Systemroot%\System32 lodctr perfci.ini
and then rebooted, but it didn't work, I've got the same message back.
