named instance installed no access to perf. counters ?

Hi,
on a server I have installed SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition x64
Its a named instance and there is no default instance deployed.
if I try to access some performance counters, I can't add them. the ADD
button is disabled.
some counters works fines, but others like "Active Transactions" can't be
added while the active temp tables counter can be added.
I think only counters where an instance (ie a database in the SQL Server
instance) option must be selected doesn't works.
I have installed the SP2 and this don't solve the issue.
any idea?
Thanks.
Jerome.Most likely you have installed a 32-bit SQL Server on top of a 64-bit OS.
Check the @.version and see. If you have, you will need to uninstall and
reinstall SQL Server 2005.
