Access to the registry key 'Global' is denied

I'm using Visual C# 2005 Express to write a program that checks for available RAM.

The partial code is as below:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Diagnostics;

publicpartialclassForm1 :Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

privatevoid buttonCheckRam_Click(object sender,EventArgs e)

{

PerformanceCounter ramCounter =newPerformanceCounter("Memory","Available MBytes");

MessageBox.Show(ramCounter.NextValue() +"MB");

}

}

}

Upon running the program as Administrator, there was no problem, but when I run the program as a normal user, it

throws an "UnauthorizedAccessException" , Acess to the registry key 'Global' is Denied.

Any ideas, how to solve this problem is much appreciated.
