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: http://developer.intel.com/drg/pentiumII/appnotes/pct_1_1.htm -- Cheers, 3d graphics optimization jock Brandon Van Every Seattle, WA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If we are all Gods and we have thrown our toys the mortals away and we are Immortal What shall we do and we cannot die to entertain ourselves?
