CPU 100%

I have win98SE (I know this is not the right group but I think somebody
can help me) and the CPU usage is always 100%. I see this with system
monitor and with Process Explorer. The process that use most CPU is the
System Idle Process (85 / 90%). What is this System Idle Process? Is
right that this process use the CPU in this way?

If System Idle Process is at 85^then your PCU usage is at 15% - by
definition!
The SIP is the UNUSED portion of the processor time
System Monitor does NOT show System Idle Process - and should only be seeing
15% usage

In the System Monitor I see always and always CPU usage 100%.

Very strange! - however, if Process Explorer is showing 85% for SIP, I would
be inclined to believe that rather than System Monitor

Atackack, my 2 cents worth is this: My System Monitor began showing 100% CPU
usage *always* as some point and then never went back to 'normal'. I found
Wintop.exe, an old Windows utility that, as Noel says shows the 'System Idle
Process' 'using' the highest percentage of CPU. So, I know what you mean
about System Monitor. I now use Wintop if I'm curious but keep a small
corner of System Monitor up to show available & swap-able RAM. Wintop.exe
can be downloaded here http://www.dewassoc.com/support/useful/wintop.htm .

Attackack would seem to already have installed Process Explorer - which is
by far a better app than Wintop for this purpose.

yes noel

this is a good software

thank you

Yes Noel, I included it because it's quite small and free. If not for
Attackack, then other's with the '100%' CPU problem. 'mo'
