Hi Listers, <refer to attached image> I just gotta ask - how does Vista calculate the CPU usage percentage? In XP, and all the other OSes av used they used to add up to the total % given. This one clearly doesn't add up - the sum of individual processes usage comes nowhere close to the 99% being reported.

click the show processes from all users button. .. . the ones shown arent for all users. . . On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 3:10 PM, Tech List Kenya <techlistkenya@gmail.com>wrote:

I doubt that is the issue - see my attached image (this is a different screen shot with the 'show processes from all users' option checked.) First of all, the sum of idle % (72) and total cpu usage % (52) is already more than 100% Ama how does it work here?
