SYMPTOMS

Build and run the PView sample included with Visual C++ 32-bit Edition. The box labeled "Process, CPU Time, Privileged, and User" is not filled with the expected strings. When you select the button titled "Memory Detail", the following error dialog box displays:

    -------------------------------------------
   |              Memory Detail                |
   |-------------------------------------------|
   |                                           |
   |     Unable to retrieve memory detail.     |
   |                                           |
    -------------------------------------------

CAUSE

The system performance monitor APIs return UNICODE strings. For the strings to be displayed properly, UNICODE must be defined when you compile the sample program.

RESOLUTION

Modify the makefile compiler options to include /DUNICODE. This has been done for you in Visual C++ version 2.0.
