That works for XP but not Vista, I guess M$ changed the API in Vista. Oh by the way I mean to write win32pdhutil.browse() earlier. Thanks for the help. I didn't run it as admin in Vista before so I gave your script a try. The output from your script as run in vista by administrator follows: [code] >>> win32pdhutil.browse() Value of '\Network Interface(Intel[R] PRO_100 VE Network Connection)\Current Bandwidth' is 100000000.0 Added 'Current Bandwidth' on object 'Network Interface' (machine \\SAIBOX-01), instance Intel[R] PRO_100 VE Network Connection(0)-parent of None >>> Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line 310, in RunScript exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__ File "C:\Python25\getrcv.py", line 10, in <module> tp,val = win32pdh.GetFormattedCounterValue( hc, win32pdh.PDH_FMT_LONG ) error: (-1073738810, 'GetFormattedCounterValue', 'No error message is available') >>> [/code] I'm new to working in windows and am curious as to how to go about getting the error codes, I tried hex(1073738810) but thats not right.
