System Monitor.
Hello,
I would like to know more about the items presented for monitoring. The significance of the values displayed and the reliability of those values as shown by this tool. A pointer appreciated. Ben. |

System Monitor.
A pretty good starting point would be the Win98 Resource Kit, Chapter 26 -
Performance Tuning and look for the section 'Tracking Performance with System Monitor' (scroll approx 1/2 to 2/3 down the page) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/arc...t5/wrkc26.mspx N.B Win98 Resourse Kit is also included on the Win98 CD HTH Mart "Ben B" seafarerathushmail.com wrote in message ...

System Monitor.
Hello Mart,
Thanks for the link. You are right it is probably a good place to begin reading. I don't think my WinME CD has the resource kit you mention and I assume the System Monitor is the same in both OSs. Though I seem to recall reading that the Kernel Processor Usage monitor was faulty. Obliged to you. Ben. "Mart" wrote in message ...

Hi Ben,
A Resource Kit was never released (produced?) for WinMe, so the Win98 version is as close as you are going to get, I guess g and at least you can access the whole kit via the link:- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/arc...t5/wrkc26.mspx However, another option is to search the Knowledge Base. There are quite a few articles relating to System Monitor, some of which *might* shed more light. I just did a selective search and came up with some 20 items :- http://support.microsoft.com/search/...ode=a&x=8&y=10 After that? Perhaps a good old Google might reveal more.

System Monitor.
Hello Mart,
And a very interesting reading your first link yields - my thanks for it. As with all reading I do courtesy Microsoft I am left with more questions than answers to the point where I have developed a kind of resistance to the whole notion of finally being able to come to grips with anything in any significant manner! The desire to do so is as strong as ever it was five years ago and that inspite of the dread. I pity the child, who lacking a fundamental concept of the alphabet, desperately wants to read books. I have long envied those friends whose interest in their computers is strictly limited to 'if it works, fine'. and 'when something seems wrong get somebody to fix it'. The "A is for Apple" as a first step must have its counterpart in 'learning the computer' but I have yet to discover what it is!! Your search link, Mart, doesn't go anywhere. And it is probably a very fundamental tool - the ability to search adequately that is. But wait a minute what do I see minimalised below "Search The Knowledge Base" - yes the link did work and there are the results you mentioned. But I saw no activity in the logo - no spinning. But then I had Outlook Express full sized and I.E. must have been working 'below' it. It appears that the Outlook Express logo is simply decorative. System Monitor was my interest but digression is my tendency. A running rabbit has much in common! Thanks, Mart for getting me started. I suspect if I can begin to understand SysMon I will have taken a large step. It is a tool, and is quite a pretty one in its line charts format and if this thread should have been in SysTools - my apologies. Best wishes, Mart, you were around when I first started using these Newsgroups in 2001. Glad to find you are still here. Cheers. Ben. "Mart" wrote in message ...

Ben, my apologies. I inserted an incorrect link in my last post for the
*full* Win98Res.Kit. (Finger trouble at this end!) The correct link is:- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/arc...t/win98rk.mspx .... but digression is my tendency. On reflection, the above link won't help with that affliction g Good luck with your SysMon quest - and keep visiting the WinMe News Groups. As I've said several time before, we can all learn something new here, almost every day. Mart "Ben B" seafarerathushmail.com wrote in message ...
