Registry problem

    Our software modifies HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
    NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\009\Counter and help to add performance
    monitor counters. It has been working for years on XP. It does not work
    on Vista. To test, I tried to add a key to Perflib\009 but I got "Cannot
    to registry" dialog box. I tried to modify the permission and got
    "Invalid handle". I can add key to \Perflib but not \Perflib\009. I am
    logged in under administrator account.

    What's wrong and what's the solution?

    Thanks

    Thanks but I am the software author and trying to debug it. The sforware
    (a DLL) gets invalid handle when writing to the registry but can read it
    fine. I try to add a test key under Perflib\009 using regedit but it
    gave me "Cannot write to regsitry". Trying to change the permission of
    Perflib\009 in regedit, gives Inavlid handle. I tried it with several
    other keys (including \Perflib itself) and all worked fine. What can be
    different with 009? All the permissions seem to be the same as any other.

    Probably the best place for you to ask this is in a developer's forum. Try
    the MSDN forums:
