462929 2006-06-14 05:20:00 Windows is like a disease. Crippled and struggling after a while. Mainly cause of all the rubbish it does, see above for the cure.

I hate to think how much worse Vista is.

Run it then untick "Performance Counters Enabled" for all three selections in turn: Library File, Service, Counter ID
