You should print out errors like this in hex.  It's 800007D0, which is 
PDH_CSTATUS_NO_MACHINE.   From pdhmsg.h:

// MessageId: PDH_CSTATUS_NO_MACHINE
//
// MessageText:
//
//  Unable to connect to specified machine or machine is off line.
//
#define PDH_CSTATUS_NO_MACHINE           ((DWORD)0x800007D0L)
