When looking at processes running in windows Task Manager, trying to find out what has slowed your system to a crawl, which column shows the most likely culprit? It seems as though CPU should show whatever is eating processor time, but I have been told MemUsage is the factor. Which is it? |

Hi Under the CPU column, System Idle Process should be at the top at about 97/98 %. What is the biggest factor under MemUsage on your system? -- Will Denny MS-MVP windows Shell/User Please reply to the news Groups "M Skabialka" <mskabialka@NOSPAMdrc.com> wrote in message news:OP9Gxm8jGHA.3620@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > When looking at processes running in windows Task Manager, trying to find > out what has slowed your system to a crawl, which column shows the most > likely culprit?

sometimes the crawl is due to low ram. however, the task manager does tell you what is loaded. some programs use cpu by constantly pinging or checking something on your system or on the net. some spywares disguise themselves as a valid process. while others may simply be a memory hog. if you are having some trouble you could go into msconfig and deselect all the startups under the startup tab. then you can initiate them one by one or let them initiate by themselves when you "actually" run a program. keep in mind that after you disable all your startups and reboot, check out your task manager and you may see the culprit that is circumventing you.....

So is it the one that shows the highest MemUsage,or the highest CPU that hogs the system the most?
