Performance Monitor Counters with Multiple Instances

I have a server that has 2 instances of SQL Server 2000. The first is the default instance and the second is a named instance. When I go to Performance Monitor to view counters, I can only find counters for the named instance. Is ther a way to view counters for both/all instances?

Thanks in advance for your help.

IS that default instance sql services are started?

What is the OS version? Service pack?
When some counters disapear, what counters are still there?
Do you start perfmon first (remotely or localy) and then SQL Server?
Do you change the service account for the SQL Server instances while perfmon is running (remotely or localy)
When counters disapear do you see any rows with select * from sysperfinfo? If you get no rows you should check the errorlog for the instances affected.

Thanks for the response Satya:

IS that default instance sql services are started? >> Yes

What is the OS version? Service pack? >> Not Sure
When some counters disapear, what counters are still there? >> Counters don't "disappear" - they are never there
Do you start perfmon first (remotely or localy) and then SQL Server? >> SQL Server(s) are running first
Do you change the service account for the SQL Server instances while perfmon is running (remotely or localy) >> No
When counters disapear do you see any rows with select * from sysperfinfo? >> Again, counters don't "disappear" - yes I get 700+ rows

If you get no rows you should check the errorlog for the instances affected.

|||I believe still there is much information needed to assess, check the service pack level on SQL and operating system. BTW are there any clustered instances?|||

Thanks again Satya...

I am trying to get my Windows Admin to get the information on the operating system. The instances are not clustered. Was there a problem with performance counters for a given SP?
