Hello
I have been trying to ckeck if a application is running by using this code

Process[] pname = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad");
if (pname.Length == 0)
MessageBox.Show("nothing");
else
MessageBox.Show("run");

but i'm keep on getting is error.

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in system.dll

Additional information: Couldn't get process information from remote machine.

Does anybody know how to get this to work. I'm have .net framework1.1 and winxp pro sp2

thank you in advance.

hmmm, very stange. it worked for me exactly as you have typed it. (i copied and pasted from your post)

It might be that your framework is corrupted. Try reinstalling it.

Hope this helps,
