Process performance counter?

[Bert]

Hi All,

Every time I amend something in config, the recording service tries to restart and throws the attached error message. Any ideas what I should be looking for to correct this?

I'm running on an XP box with an Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T PCI card.

Thanks
Bert

it's a hassle but is DOES work. I had this problem and this fixed it. Not sure what caused it.

Did you perhaps use an XP tweak utility?

Many thanks. This pretty much got me there. The one extra step I had to take was to find the "Disable Performance Counter" value and make sure that was set to zero (it was one on mine).
