Performance Condition Alert Type

I am trying to setup a Performance Condition Alert and on this one SQL
2000 Server the 'Type:' drop down does not give me the option to choose
"SQL Server performance condition alert".  "SQL Server event alert" is
the only item listed in the drop down.  Is there some setting on the
Server that I am missing that needs to be activated? I am connected
with the SA account; Windows 2000 sp4; SQL 2000 sp2; SQL Litespeed
(this is the only server with LiteSpeed).

Thank you.

In some cases, it seems that the SQL Server performance counters are not
shown in the Windows Performance Monitor, so it may be that you're seeing
something similar:

It would also be worth installing SP4 - whether or not it helps to resolve
this issue, you need at least SP3 for protection from the Slammer worm.
