Eh? Process Monitor certainly works on Vista (although I haven't used
it on SP1 yet). I used it extensively when trying to figure out a
rather nasty bug issue in our privilege-shedding code a while back.

Interesting. I've always had system stability problems after launching 
either it or filemon. I'm about to configure a clean Vista install (post 
hard disk failure) so I'll have to re-test. Perhaps there was a hook DLL 
or similar nastyness interfering.

Sorry, I just re-read your mail and noticed you said process monitor, 
not explorer.


I've had issues with process *Explorer* on Vista. Process monitor works 
perfectly, but seems to lack some of the features of process explorer. 
This could have been system configuration specific, but I've seen enough 
reports to think it's probably not.


Anyway, this is way off topic.

I did mean Process Explorer though :-).
