Re: Task Manager

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,

I wold recommend that you download Process explorer from Sysinternals
and get a seocnd opinion on what is happening.

From here, depending on what you find, would be a unique solution.
Give the tool a try and post back what you see.

Thanks

Strange problem when I open up task manager on SBS2003 server in the
performance tab/cpu useage history states that its using 40-50%. It's only in
the left hand pane where its peaking though.

The other thing thats wierd is when I look on the processes tab I'm seeing
that there's 99% system idle.

Something soesn't add up.

Whatever is using the cpu isn't showing up as a process and is only showing
up in the left hand pane of the cpu usage.

Any ideas?
