SYMPTOMS

When you use Chart view in Performance Monitor to examine a Performance Monitor log in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, you can adjust the Time window to view processes that start after the log is started. Without this adjustment, which starts after the first data point is logged, some data values that you see in the log file are not displayed in Chart view.

If you use System Monitor in Windows 2000 to view the same Performance Monitor log, processes that start after the log starts do not appear in the Instance list, even after you adjust the Time window.
