Task Manager Shows Almost 1400 MB Cached
Mar 23, 2008My HP laptop, 2G ram, with Vista has slowed to a crawl. The task manager shows that almost 1400 MB is cached, with 56 processes going on. I have firefox and outlook open and that is it. What are these 56 things? I have opened the system config utility, but don't know which items in the services tab or in the start up tab I can disable. Is there something else i can do to speed things up?

Jul 30, 2009I am using IE7, with only one browser open, only one tab also. When I open task manager I see internet explorer listed twice. Usually one listing will be 50,000k and the other 2,000k. why would this be? it does not happen with firefox or any other program. It always seems like there is more going on in the background than there should be, like my modem is working all the time.

Jun 4, 2008This is with Vista SP1 installed. I added 2GB RAM making the total installed RAM size to be 4GB. My problem is that although BIOS recognize the RAM size to be 4GB and the Properties/System shows also 4GB, but both of the System Information/System Tools and Performance/Task Manager show 2GB. How can I check to see if 4GB is being made available for the system to utilize?

View 4 Replies View RelatedTask Manager. Why Does Is Show Only A Few Processes Running At Low Power?
May 15, 2010In Xp when I used the task manger it told me how much CPU is being used. this was very helpful because if one particular process was taking up to much power I ended task.
Yet in Vista x32, even when the cpu is going at full pelt, it only register a few % on the odd program. Something is running, but I do not know what. This has been an ongoing problem for years, and I have installed and reinstalled, and run ant viuses and malware and root kits. Yet when running fully loaded, it never shows what is running, even when showing all users.
My laptop is a Dell inspiron 1720.
I would be grateful if somebody could shed so light on this upgrade from Xp.

Feb 6, 2009Received my computer back yesterday from HP with reinstalled clean version of Vista Home Premium. It came back with a user name of 'test'.

In user profiles the administrator shows as Bob Lafayette. The computer name shows as "BobLafayette." Computer description shows as "Bob's Computer." How can I amend the user name in task manager to reflect solely "BobLafayette"? Without the "test"?

Jan 23, 2010Just about 1-2 weeks ago i was sitting comfortably in my living room gaming away when i noticed the game i was playing started having problems. In the mist of playing my keyboard locks up and mouse freezes and i can't move my character at all. I can't even alt+tab to task manager to fix the problem. I noticed the windows vista error sound play and then a few seconds later the game resumes normally.
I thought it was the particular game, but when i ditched it and started playing navyfield i noticed the same problem occurring there.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem? I was thinking driver related problems or possible graphics since the problem never occurs outside of gaming. When the problem happens the green lights for numb lock etc.. quickly off and on. I have disabled trusted installer thinking it was lag durring game and that cause the information to pause....I have recently reformated my hard drived with the disk that came with the computer and did a full installation of windows updates.

Feb 10, 2009How do I get Task manager to work? It doesn't shut down frozen (non responding) programs including WindowsMail, IE7 or MozillaFF... all of which "stop responding" constantly. We're all getting sick and tired of having to reboot to get anything done online. I can't find any infections on this PC which has WDefender, Avast, Spybot, Adaware, A-Squared and ZoneAlarm. We ran all these programs, updated, several times and no viruses or other crapware was found. This Vista Home Premium is less stable than the old W98 we recently gave away. In fact we had less problems with W98 than we're having with Vista.

View 9 Replies View RelatedTask Manager Has Disappeared
Jun 16, 2009This morning,I opened up the Task Manager and noticed that there are no longer any options such as Applications,Processes,Services,Performance,Networking,and User(thosetabs are no longer available).
In addition File,Options,View,Windows,and Help at the top hasdisappeared also.
Also,the minimize,maximize,and close out buttons have disappeared inthe upper right hand corner,so I can no longer minimize or close thetask manager window. However,when I switch to a different user,the taskmanager window is normal and all those options are there.
I would perform a system restore to a date and time of last night at11:00 pm or sometime yesterday,but I was having trouble with my internetconnection last night and yesterday and I'm afraid if I go back a day insystem restore,I will lose my internet connection again because Belkinhad me change some settings yesterday and last night that allowed me tostay connected to the internet.

View 4 Replies View RelatedTask Manager Can't End Process
Mar 18, 2009I haven't been able to find any information on how to overcome this problem. When a third party software decides to 'stop responding' and I choose to "Close program", the application's window is closed, but the process is still running. If I select the persistent process and click the "End Process" button, the precess does not end; and there is no way I can force-close the process - except to restart the computer. I am currently using Vista Ultimate x64, and I'm the Administrator. I'm simply referring to processes of third-party software (e.g. Firefox,uTorrent,Opera etc...) Here's the strange thing: generally I can end any process through Task Manager, until the program decides to stop responding, that's when I am unable to end it's process.
View 4 Replies View RelatedTask Manager Will Not Respond
Mar 4, 2009I hope this is the right section for this thread, But I'm working on an old acer 1.6 Ghz processor 512Mb ram running vista home premium. Porblem is that Explorer will not load. Task manager will not respond nor will Alt+Ctrl+Del do anything. I checked the reg key for the shell but it is fine. I am running out of ideas on how to get windows to continue to load. Using restore disks are out of the question. They are what I want run in the end, but the restore disk that I have apears to need to be run from a program from within windows. does anyone have an idea on how to coax this thing back to life?

Aug 8, 2007Vista 64, 2gb ram, Geforce 8600, 250 gb sata hd, intel 6420 core2duo cpu, asus P5L vm mobo. Anyone suggest a tool that will let me see what exactly is running in the background. In the task manager/processes there a "Host Process for Windows" going on thats using approx 107,212K of memory. Image name is Svchost.exe, would this be the Superfetch at work here ? Also I seem to have 68 processes (which I think could be reduced)going on in total, cpu usage when idle is at 1% and physical memory at 58 %. Are these figures near normal for the above specs ? The computer does'nt seem any slower.

Sep 22, 2009I read an older thread on disabling/enabling Task Manager. I followed the instructions . . . but I must have a different issue regarding my Task Manager. When I control-alt-del and hit Task Manager, it comes up in my menu bar. When I try to bring it up to my screen, I see a flash waaay off to the left (off of my screen). It's apparently running, but I can't get to it I have tried the following but still having corrected the problem:
1. Removed all the spyware, etc that was on my machine
2. Ran "regedit" per various instructions (this forum's instructions were the only ones that I could actually follow and perform - which gives me great confidence that I'm at the right place - you guys are great!)
3. Restored computer
4. Tried resizing the screen to capture it I am the Administrator as this is my personal computer I just don't know what to do. I've tried everything I can think of.
