SUMMARY

This article provides detailed instructions for reinstalling or removing and reinstalling the Windows NT Option Pack (NTOP) Performance Monitor Counters.


MORE INFORMATION

Three files are required to install Performance Monitor Counters for NTOP services. One file is a .ini file that contains the installation instructions for the counters, another is a .h file that contains the symbolic and offset information for the counters, and the third file is the .dll file that maintains the counters statistics. These three files must reside in the %windir%\system32 directory before they can be installed for use with Performance Monitor.

If the main Performance Monitor data files (Perfc009.dat and Perfh009.dat) have become corrupted, you can use the following article to correct the problem:

Use the following instructions to install or reinstall Performance Monitor Counters for the NTOP services:
  1. To install an object's counters, the object's .ini, .h, and .dll files must reside in the %windir%\system32 directory. Using the above table determine which .ini, .h, and .dll files you need for the object you want to install. Determine if the .ini, .h, and .dll files are in the %windir%\system32 directory. If they are not, you can use the latest version of WinZip to extract the files to the %windir%\system32 directory from the appropriate .cab file on the NTOP compact disc.


  2. Open a Command Prompt and change directory to %windir%\system32.


  3. Type the following:
    lodctr <.ini file name for object to install>
    If you receive the following message:
    Counters for <object name> are already installed
    Unable to update the system registry
    type the following:
    unlodctr <services registry key name>
    and re-type:
    lodctr <.ini file name for object to install>


  4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for each object that you want to install Performance Monitor Counters for.
