Troubleshooting
After you have followed the steps in this article,
monitoring starts at its scheduled time and sends alerts when the
threshold is exceeded. However, the alert does not automatically restart
after every reboot of the computer. To force the alert to restart after a
reboot or after logging off and logging back on:
1.
Start System Monitor again, and open the properties of the
alert that you created.
2.
On the Schedule tab, change the Stop scan
option to After.
3.
Type a large number for the days to scan. The maximum value
is 100,000.

4.
Click Start a new scan.
The alert should run continuously, regardless of rebooting
the computer, logging off and on, or the date.
The LogicalDisk counters are not loaded automatically in
Windows 2000. You must install them before you can track free disk space.
Also, System Monitor does not display the LogicalDisk data for the fourth
disk in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. Install the latest service pack for
Windows NT 4.0.
