Somehow I've corrupted my perfmon counters to the point where they show up as numbers instead of names. My machine is Win2k and my application was trying to add counters to a catagory when the debugger crashed. My software is unable to access the correct
catagories now and throws an exception whenever I try to access these counters. Further, if you go into perfmon, there are numbers for catagories and there are no counters under any of the catagories.
I've tried KB300956, but that did not solve the issue. Do I have any other options besides a complete reinstall? I don't expect any hand holding, but KB300956 was a long, drawnout pain in the butt that didn't work.
