debug the program CAUSEThis behavior may occur if the following conditions are true:
- You install Visual Studio 6 or Visual Studio .NET on a
Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer.
-and- - You run the Spy++ program as a limited user.
An access violation occurs because the SPY++ program tries
to open performance counter registry keys under the context of the limited
user. The program cannot successfully open the performance counter registry
keys unless it does so in the context of a user account that is a member of the
Performance Monitor Users local group. RESOLUTIONTo resolve this behavior, add the limited user to the
Performance Monitor Users local group on the server.
