+2  Q: 

GetProcessesByName() Throws Process performance counter is disabled

we had an application that uses Process.GetProcessesByName() but it is failing only on one user PC with the following error Process performance counter is disabled

i seached the registry for the Disable Performance Counters entry but it was not present with the value set to 1,

user env is XP with administrative rigths.

i know that on windows server 2003 user account needs to be a member of the Performance Counter Users Group in order to accomplish this.

any ideas on how to enable Process performance counter?
