problem with the perf plugin

[zerocode]

hi, i'm new here (and i'm brazilian, s? my english is not so good) i'm use a lcd smartie on my 2x16 lcd, and i can install and use the winamp plugin, but when i try to use the perf plugin, the program show this message: Bad Counter. i'm read in another forum about this error and i see that can be because the language of the OS (my OS is windows xp sp2 in portuguese) how i fix this bug?

U have to use the perfomonitor utility of your system to get the correct name of the counters.
Go to ''Start'' > ''Run'' and write ''Perfmon'' and after that OK

and i try to but on my lcd some like this but i can't, this side bars is for some lcd or is a code?

[limbo]

The bars are generated by LCD Smartie using custom characters.
Does your LCD module support them?

[zerocode]

i don't know, how i make to know this?

[limbo]

Heck that's easy!
Use the following line in a blank configuration:
$CustomChar(1,2,4,8,16,2,4,8,16)$Chr(176)

Do you see two diagonial lines like // in your display?
Also read the command ref for more:

yeah i can see the // on my lcd, but i can't implement on my comand line, i use the comand like this:

line 1: CPU @ $CPUSpeed MHz
line2: $dll(perf,4,5,\Processador(0)\% tempo de processador)% [$dll(perf,1,2x8#u#5#2#2#50#\Processador(0)\% tempo de processador,CPU)]

but i see on the page a cool char "$Chr(124)", how i put this character on this barstyle? can u understand me?
