W7x64 NextPVR crashing when using plugin System

[bgowland]

This section from the link Graham included (above) seems like a much simpler fix

In Windows Vista/Server 2008 and higher, a very easy command to get your base O.S. performance counters working:

Click on Start, CMD (evelated as an Administrator)
Type "C:" without the quotation marks and Enter.
Type "CD\windows\system32" without the quotation marks and Enter.
Type "LodCtr.exe /S:Backup_Original.INI" without the quotation marks and Enter.
Note: This let's you backup the performance counters before we rebuild.
Type "LodCtr.exe /RerfStringBackup.INI" without the quotation marks and Enter.
Open up Perfmon and check to see if your counters are showing up properly.

And make a system restore backup before trying anything

Hi Everyone.

I've succeeded in rebuilding the performance counters by using the command LodCtr.exe /R
I've run PERFMON from the command line to see if there was a problem before restoring just to make sure there was a real problem to be fixed.
And indeed W7 PERFMON gave me a number of errors from which I took a screenshot in attachment (Translated: Can not add these items to Perfmon).
After running LodCtr.exe /R the problem was gone and as well PERFMON as the original System plugin run without errors.
FYI, it's no use to specify the filename for LodCtr /R file... as it won't work because the file does not exist. A simple LodCtr.exe /R is enough.
Hopefully things don't get corrupt again because I still don't know how this has happened.

Thanks a lot everybody, for your time and support.
Case closed.

Glad to hear you've got it sorted. And relatively easily
