Performance counter categories appear as numbers. How do I fix this?

Question

I'm on a server (VM) and I have errors accessing performance counters (category does not exist). When I open Perfmon and try add a counter, I see this list of numbers in the list of categories. How can I fix this?

All I had to do was copy the perfc009.dat file from another server. :D THANK YOU. – Bernhard Hofmann Jun 26 '12 at 15:24
