If you receive:

   Event Type:      Error   Event Source:    WinMgmt   Event Category:  None   Event ID:        37   Date:            2/7/2000   Time:            10:05:55 AM   User:            N/A   Computer:        [machinename]   Description:     WMI ADAP was unable to load the perfproc.dll                     performance library due to an unknown problem within                     the library: 0x0 

the Performance Library Dredger thinks that the library is invalid, even though the counter works properly.

To resolve the issue, open a CMD prompt and type:

winmgmt /clearadap

                or

winmgmt /resyncperf -p

where is the processID of the running WINMGMT process.
