Download and run Process Explorer from the following web address http://technet.microsoft.com/it-it/sysinternals/bb896653 It is a valid substitute for the Windows Task Manager. Bye. Luigi Bruno - Microsoft Community Contributor 2011 Award

The 1st time I posted it it did not actualy post (was not addes to the roster of posted questions ) ......this made me think I hit the wrong button...so I re did the question....I did not like re doing it.....but its important to me... so it ended up in ther twice .....sorry

I can imagine there area ton of utilities out there that could be used....... let me go further..... is the observation I reported in my original question normal (I.E. this is the correct way for Taskmgr to work?) If not what could the matter be ? thanks
