Last night I went to run Ghost 10 to make a back up and once it had commenced it stated that that the slider was disabled because Disk Performance Counters were disabled and that I should run diskperf.exe -? to get info on enabling them.
After some Googling my general impression was that these counters are permanently enabled on Windows XP, so it didn't make sense.
I started disabling programs one by one via task manager to see if I could find some conflicting program with no luck.
I then disabled all shields via the Avast icon in the task bar and found that Ghost worked correctly.
I then enabled the shields again and the problem returned.
So opened Avast and disabled the first shield (standard / file whatever it's caleld) and tried Ghost 10 again and the problem was gone.
So it seems there is some conflict when running the standard shield and running Ghost 10.
I can post the exact message later when I get home if it's needed.
Last time I ran a Ghost back up was on 17/7 and it did not get this error.
