How do I access performance counters from C# in Windows XP Embedded?

Question

I have an application running under Windows XP, and I'm accessing the Processor and Memory performance counters. When I try to run the same code and access them on XP Embedded, the counters don't seem to be present. They are present in the image - I can see them all in perfmon. What's the missing piece here?
