SYMPTOMS

  The Open Procedure for service "COMTIPerf" in DLL "comtiperf.dll" generated
  an exception. Performance data for this service will not be available.
  Exception code returned is DWORD 0.

CAUSE
=====

The COM Transaction Integrator (COMTI) performance-measuring software is not
compatible with third-party performance measuring services, such as HP
MeasureWare or Performance SeNTry.

RESOLUTION

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, stop the third-party services (such as HP
