Does Win95 have an API interface to SET UP the Pentium II performance
counters?  i.e. a built-in method to indirectly execute the Ring 0 WRMSR
instruction?

I know you can do it on NT, I want to do it on Win95.

If Win95 has no such interface, is there a kernel driver to do it floating
around the net somewhere?

I've R a lot of TFMs including Intel docs, MSDN CDs, DejaNews on comp.arch,
comp.lang.asm.x86, comp.sys.intel, and intel.*, AltaVista on the subject in
general.  I am not getting anywhere....

BTW an interesting tool for monitoring the performance counters under Win95,
not exactly what I'm looking for:
