VisualVM Profile at JDK 1.7_21 crashes with "Access denied"

Question

May be you can help me with this problem.

Profiler crashes with "Access denied" message, then i start it for any local application. In a logfile I found:

java.io.IOException: Отказано в доступе
    at sun.tools.attach.WindowsVirtualMachine.openProcess(Native Method)
    at sun.tools.attach.WindowsVirtualMachine.<init>(WindowsVirtualMachine.java:56)

Application runs on the same JVM HotSpot 1.07.0_21 x32 (VisualVM from JDK 1.6 works fine), using just next options:

-client -Xmx1524M

Any suggestions?

UPD: OS is WindowsXP sp3 x32

Have you checked their troubleshooting section?

in particular:

Insufficient permissions for %TMP%\hsperfdata_username folder - make sure you're able to create a file in the directory and eventually update the permissions for full folder access. Alternatively you can just re-create the folder which should automatically set the correct access rights. See see this forums.sun.com thread for more details.
