PerfMon Error

  • Perfmon is throwing me the next error:

    The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000409) occurred in the application at location 0x74023581.

    And I've realized that it only happens when I try to save the log file type as csv or tab delimited. Anyone has an idea why would this be?

    The counters I’m using are:

  • I just created a logged csv file for these counters and had no problems. Have you tried this on another machine?

  • I did tried it on another pc but had the same problem. Anyway it works if I use the .blg format and then all I do is to convert the file from a .blg to a .csv with a command.

    But still I wander why it happens.
