Setting up performance alerts in performance monitor

Question

I am currently using Windows Server 2008 R2 (this was not listed in the pull downs for assigning this to groups - sorry if I posted to the wrong place).  I am trying to manually setup a user defined data collector set.  I clicked the create manually radio button and next.  I clicked performance counter alert and next.  From the create new data collector set I clicked the add button.  I opened the .Net CLR Data category in counters and clicked on SqlClient: Peak # pooled connections, then I clicked the add button.  The counter appeared in the right hand window.  When I click the OK button to return to the dialog collector set dialog the added counter does not appear in the performance counters window.  I made sure that I added the  log on as a batch job policy to administrators and performance log users groups before I tried this.  I also tried several other counters - same problem. What am I doing wrong?

This question is outside the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure you get the best (and quickest) answer it should be asked either on Technet (for IT Pro's) or MSDN (for developers)
