"Tab" and "Column heading" are not the same thing. OK, so you you see Processes tab. Click on it. If it was already on top, nothing will happen. Now you see a list of processes in a table. The table has column headings. One of the column headings is "CPU". (If you don't see that column, click View, then Select Columns. Place a checkmark in the box for "CPU Usage". Click OK.) Click on the word "CPU" in that column heading. Now the entire table is sorted with the lowest CPU processes at the top and the highest ones at the bottom. Look or scroll to the bottom to see which process is using the most CPU.

Jimmy A. Hughes [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~homeinspector/ How do you "look at performance"? Do this: 1. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del. 2. If you don't see Task Manager then you will see a button that you can click to get Task Manager. 3. In Task Manager, click the Processes tab. 4. Click on the CPU column heading. The largest CPU consumer will be at the bottom of the list. -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jimmy Hughes When i open windows task manager, processes, cpu, it shows system idle at 89-99 When i look at performance it show cpu usage at 55-77 percent How do i find what is using the cpu and slowing my system down If i reboot it performs as it should thanks Jimmy A.
