Hmm, works fine for me on Win 2K Professional and python 2.3a2 with
win32all-153.

Have you got the right win32all installed for your interpreter version?
(although I think the win32all installer won't let you mismatch
versions.)

Perhaps the PDH stuff doesn't work on XP? Do you have other versions of
Windows available that you can try it on? Maybe the following MS link
might shed some light?

Or perhaps this is a specific problem that someone else in the group
knows about?

Or maybe you would be better off using WMI after all? :-)
