StockInstance sample: event log errors->The specified perf..

I have not fixed that yet, but I've seen how you can set the perf counter to
query less often: see the PerformanceQueryInternal in the
ApplicationExecutionSettings

I have installed Notification Server on some computer and one of them are having the same problems with the access to some Performance Counters. NS fills the event log very quickly. Is there anyone out there who knows why this problem occurs?

Maybe the performance counters are corrupt. Try stopping the service,
unregistering it using NSControl Unregister, and then re-registering it
with NSControl Register.

I have reregistred the service with nscontrol unregister followed by
nscontrol register -name [name] -server [SQLServer] -serviceusername
[serviceusername] -servicepassword [servicepassword] -service
However the problem persists and the event log is filled with messages like:

<NotificationServicesEvent>
<Description>
The specified performance counter could not be accessed.
</Description>
<Context>
<EventParameters>
<Category Name>NS$eTimberNSInstance: Generator</Category Name>
<Counter Name>Skipped Quanta</Counter Name>
<Counter Instance>eTimber</Counter Instance>
</EventParameters>
</Context>
<Description>
Cannot create file mapping.
</Description>
<Instance>eTimberNSInstance</Instance>
<ApplicationName></ApplicationName>
<Component>Performance Monitor</Component>
<Thread>313</Thread>
</NotificationServicesEvent>

I believe that the application works fine except for the access problem of
performance counters.

At the bottom of the error in the event viewer is a link to the ms web site.
Have you followed it and acted upon the instructions there?
I recently had an error with custom content formatters that I just couldn't
figure out. I followed the link and applied the info there. The recommended
action was spot on and fixed my particular problem.

Give it a try, it may help you.
