ONPM fails to read interface info

For about a year, I used the Engineers's edition to monitor traffic on all Nortel BPS switches on my network. I start ro migrate over to Orion and the traffic on the interfaces are ZERO.
When displayed the interface details, it reads:
Transmit Bandwith = 0
Receive Transmit = 0
Nortel don't think it's their problem since the previous version works fine....
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks

The Orion NPM automatically tests the device to see if it can use the 64-bit counters for the interface traffic. In some cases, devices test positive but don't actually provide good data in these MIBs. You can right-click on the interface within the System Manager and choose "Interface Details" to see if it is using 64-bit counters for the interface. If it is, you can use a registry setting to override this and force the use of 32-bit counters.

I think that the registry setting is in \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SolarWinds.Net\SWNetPerfMon\Settings\Disable 64 bit counters set the value to "True".--HTH

Thanks MrSNMP for replying. I did check the interface details and find out that the Counter64 support is NO. However I was able to find out what causes the problem. This is it:
When I enable an Alert and requires an E-mail to be sent to me, there is a pop-up error on the screen " Email notification server 'runtime error 6 overflow'. As long as the error is on the screen the (?)shows for any interface added for Nortel, Cisco and 3COM. Also the error shows up when I disable an interface forcing Solarwinds to send me an e-mail.
When the error is clear on the screen, then everything gets back to normal.
I am still unable to fix the problem.
