2)
i get right display using jaLCD 3.2 when using the same counter string that not work by smartie

like this in smartie
$dll(perf,1,1x4#u#1#10#1#90#\processor(0)\% processor time,myCPU)
and this for jaLCD
$pdh:\Processor(0)\% Processor Time?

I am also getting this error with Server 2003 SP1 , but only with perf counters that have a space in the name.

I tried replacing it with the original version but SP1 keeps replacing it again.

Is it possible for the plugin devs to look into this? I can provide whatever debugging help is needed.

In the meantime I am using the PerfMonitor plugin.

Good news!

Had to install today some lcd on a win2k3 machine and of course got the perf plugin problem.

Searched the net for pdh.dll and found it for download somewhere (found version 5.1.2600.2180 probably from a win xp install), then copied it to system32 folder after backing up the original file and set the performance monitor service in services.msc to manual (as it would complain every startup that it generated errors).

Hint: disable system restore prior to changing the file...

Now perf plugin works in windows 2003 sp1 so why not in Vista too!

PS: i don't think that it is possible to attach the file here due to copyright problems but you'll surely find it somewhere.

I'm currently working on fixing perf.dll. I have fixed the code and appears to be running fine in XP SP2, XP 64bit, Server 2003 SP1 (32bit and 64bit and of course Vista. I'm just making a few final changes and running some final tests. I hope to release the new version of the DLL later this week.

:D :D :D
