[news.eclipse.tools.hyades] Re: Problems using Statistical Console

["Rafael Espinha" <rafael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tryed the perfmon in two machines, one running windows XP and othe running 
windows 2000, but the problem persist. I didn't check  the 'Connect to 
remote registry' otpion in profile configuration.

I followed the steps, but the results were the same. When I run perfmon.exe 
it works fine...

Below there are the messages printed in command prompt of PerfmonAgent.exe:


C:\hyades\bin>PerfmonAgent.exe
