Performance Monitors on 64bit OS

I am using a 3rd party tool to bind to the perf monitors, with no success. I
n
the event log:
Windows cannot open the 32-bit extensible counter DLL MSSQLSERVER in a
64-bit environment.
Contact the file vendor to obtain a 64-bit version.
Alternatively, you can open the 32-bit extensible counter DLL by using the
32-bit version
of Performance Monitor. To use this tool, open the Windows folder, open the
Syswow64 folder,
and then start Perfmon.exe.
I followed and can see the monitors on the local machine using the 64bit
perfmon. (they do not show on the stat > run > perfmon
The question: Any ideas how to force the 64bit monitors to present
themselves rather then the 32bit - which do not have the sql perf monitirs.
Heeeelp.
ThanksOK - I have got myself mixed up.
I need the 32bit (Syswow64) perfmon to respond to the 3rd party software
rather than the 64bit.
Cheers
