sysmon

When I try to run SYSMON, a message appears on the screen informing me that
PERF can not be found. What is the full name(including the extention) of the
PERF file?

Perf.vxd is a standard W98 file

As Ron says PERF.VXD is a system file, it is the System Performance
Monitor.

Yours may be missing or corrupted.

Try Start Run and enter SFC and extract just that one file. It goes
in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32 folder. Don't restore any files with the
SFC scan unless they are missing or corrupted. You could void any
updates.

It's a sign of XP-dementia!

Not sure it would run, XP should have a similar utility.

You will find Perf.vxd listed under this Registry key...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\VMM32Files

...., which means it is inside the conglomerate FILE...

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32.VXD.

That file was generated during the installation of Windows, & can only
be generated properly while installing Windows again. It is specific to
the computer on which it is generated.

To override one of the files inside the conglomerate such as Perf.vxd,
put a copy of it into the FOLDER Watt said...

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32

However, if it fails to cure the symptoms, may as well delete it again &
let the one in the conglomerate run.
