[QUOTE="afman75, post: 608855, member: 100788"] [b]Re: HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v1.0.1[/b] Micropolis, awesome plugin and thnx for the work. I was wondering if one issue could be corrected. On all of my machines, Win 7 HP, Win Vista Ultimate, and Vista HP, I recevie an error for a counter not being found on load. It is the 'Processor Performance' counter and it is looking for the '% of maxinmum frequency'. Looking at the original code from some time ago there was a custom instance referenced in the HTPCInfo.dll. The 'Processor Performance' counter is only accesed with elevated privilidges. It doesn't matter if you add your user to the performance monitor group or not. I decompiled this code sometime ago and deleted the line calling the counter completely and it fixed the error. However, without the original windows setup form image on recompile you can't setup the plugin. But, as I said you don't get an error and the plugin runs. I have attached a small C# program that allows you to check perfomance counters outside of perfmon utility which always run elevated. The 'Processor Perfmonce' counter is not there unless you run as administrator. Just would lie to know if anyone else is having this problem or it is just me. If I had the source code I would take care of it myself if it only applies to me. Again, thanks for all the work and support. [/QUOTE]
