Mohid GIS shuts down

[vborges@eptisa.es]

Hi,
Every time I try to create a new project in Mohid GIS an error occurs that shuts down the program. The error message I get is: \"Unable to do the requested task because the process performer counter is disabled\" (rough translation of \"no se puede realizar la operación solicitada porque el contador de rendimiento 'Process' está deshabilitado\").

How can you fix this? Thank you.

Hi,

What's your Windows version? Do you have the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed?

Best regards,
Luis

I have installed the Windows XP 2002 SP2 and .NET framework versions 1.1 and 2.

Hi again,

Windows XP Professional or Home Edition?

Hi again,

Apparently you need to delete an entry in your registry by opening HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\PerfProc\\Performance and removing an entry named \"Disable Performance Counters\". This entry can also be located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\PerfOS\\Performance.
This should be able to turn on the process performance counters.

You can read about this in these articles:

or

Hope this helps,
Luis

Hi,
I have the Professional edition and in those two folders i couldn't find any entry named \"disable performance counters\"
Perhaps you have the Home Edition?

Hi,

I have the Professional edition also. I don't have that entry in the entry also. Have you read the articles? They make other suggestions.
I'm sorry but I don't know how to solve this. It's the first time I see it. I'll try to look for a solution. If you get it working meanwhile, please post the solution for the rest of the community. Thanks,

Regards,
Luis

I solved this by using
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Pro...Q_21285890.html

in short, copy the two files:

http://www.calforums.com/perfc009.dat
http://www.calforums.com/perfh009.dat

into %Systemroot%\\System32\\

that's all

Ok Luis,

Un abrazo, me alegro de volver a saber de tí. A partir de ahora participaré más en el foro, he terminado los trabajos que tenía pendientes y me voy a dedicar totalmente a MOHID.

Un saludo para ti y para todo el equipo...

Hi again,
The reply posted by Tomas worked great but after a few months the problem came back and my MOHID GIS keeps shutting down. I went over the solution again, but it appears that the .dat files no longer work.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Hi Vasco,

Probably some Windows update mixed up things again. Sorry, I've got no solution for you. Please post here if meanwhile you found the solution.

All the best,
Luis
