We have a historic problem on the database in that some of the architecture and procedures tend to cause runaway blocking lock problems. In SQL65 we monitored the situation very easily using the SQL 'Total Blocking Locks' counter in System Monitor (Performance Monitor). It appears that this counter is not available in SQL2000. Am I correct to come to this conclusion, and if so, is there another way in which we can display 'Total Blocking Locks' on a system monitor graph?"

Have a look at the SQL Server:Memory Manager counters. One of those might be what you want, it's just that they renamed it. I couldn't find one that was similar in SQL Server:Locks.
