Hi.
I'm using Vista 5465. Been using it on and off for the past few days now.
However the relability monitor doesn't show any information. Do I have to
have the window open for it to collect data, or is it running and I have
simply not done enough yet for it to display any information?

Scenario 6: View system stability with Reliability Monitor
Overview: View system stability with Reliability Monitor
Reliability Monitor is a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
that provides a system stability overview and trend analysis with detailed
information about individual events that may affect the overall stability of
the system. It will begin to collect data at the time of system
installation.

In this task you will review the System Stability Chart and become familiar
with the detailed event information Reliability Monitor uses to calculate
the stability index.

Prerequisites for viewing system stability with Reliability Monitor
To complete this task, ensure that you meet the following requirements:

· Windows Vista Beta 2 is installed.

· There has been a minimum system running time of 24 hours since
installation.

If you perform this task on a new system, you may see only minimal data
regarding reliability events. Repeat the task after installing applications
and adding hardware to learn more.

· You are logged on with administrative credentials.

Known issues for viewing system stability with Reliability Monitor

The following known issues may affect your ability to complete this task:

· Data used by Reliability Monitor is only accessible to accounts with
administrative credentials. In order to see the System Stability Chart, you
must be logged on as the local administrator, or have launched MMC with
elevated privileges.

· Your Windows installation must run for at least 24 hours before data
will be displayed in the System Stability Chart.

· Until Reliability Monitor has 28 days of data, the stability index
will be displayed as a dotted line on the graph, indicating it has not yet
established a valid baseline for the measurement.

Start Reliability Monitor from Windows Performance Diagnostic Console

1. Log on to the computer using an account that is a member of the
Administrators group.

2. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click
Command Prompt, and click "Run Elevated." in the context menu.

3. At the command prompt, type mmc.exe and press ENTER. MMC will
start.

4. In the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in., select Reliability
Monitor from the list of available snap-ins, click Add, and then click OK.

5. In the navigation tree, click Reliability Monitor.

If your system has been running for less than 24 hours, you will see
this error message:

Reliability Monitor cannot provide data because the Reliability
Analysis Component (RAC) task has been disabled or because RAC has not
calculated a session yet. Either enable the RAC task, or if the RAC task is
running, please wait 24 hours and check for data again.
 
I found that if I leave the computer idle for about 15-20 minutes the
Reliability Monitor will build the previous day(s) data and display it.
