it fails on theprocess.StartTime.
"Win32Exception. Access is denied"
I am administrator. so dont understand why I got the message.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Process[] processlist = Process.GetProcesses();



foreach(Process theprocess in processlist)
{

Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}: {2}", theprocess.ProcessName, theprocess.Id, theprocess.StartTime);

}
Console.ReadKey();

}
}
}

can you post the full stacktrace (exception.ToString())? this doesn't tell us anything.

how do you know it's failing on StartTime and not ProcessName or Id? for debugging set each value to a variable and see where it throws.
Code: 
string name = theprocess.ProcessName;
object id = theprocess.Id;
DateTime started = theprocess.StartTime;
Console.WriteLine("{0} | {1} | {2:F}", name, id, started);

chances are it's not at the end, it's failing with the next process. try this.
Code: 
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses();
Console.WriteLine("Number of Processes: {0}", processes.Length);
for(int i=0; i<processes.Length; i++)
{
   Process p = processes[i];
   try
   {
      Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}({2}) 3:F}", i, p.ProcessName, p.Id, p.StartTime);
   }
   catch(Win32Exception)
   {
      Console.WriteLine("{0} : could not parse", i);
   }
}
Console.ReadKey();
this will tell you the index of the processes theat fail when accessed.

You are right. Some of the processes get the error some don't (see below). However when I take out p.StartTime I get all processes without error. so what is special with StartTime and I am Administrator why I can't get the StartTime for some?
