>Done. I will be very interested to know if it works on Win 98. PDH.DLL is sitting in my System32 folder, not so sure about 98.

got it. works on my xp machine here too. tomorrow i'll test it on a win98 machine and let u know. if the PDH.DLL does not exist there, maybe it can be copied, however, i don't know if it would work. then ofcourse there is the question if that would be legal?!
