When I try to connect to local ports, Computer -> Connect local, using Portmon v. 3.02, I'm getting an error message, Error 2, in a small error dialog box:

Enter image description here

I run the tool as an administrator (if not, I get error 6).

By the way this is a Windows 7 x64. On 32-bit, in Windows 7 x86, it works fine. How can I fix this problem?

Sysinternals' Portmon works only on 32-bit versions of Windows. It does not support 64-bit (probably its driver is not signed).

From the Portmon homepage:

  • Runs on:
    • Client: Windows XP (32-bit) and higher (32-bit).
    • Server: Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) and higher (32-bit).
