Solved All will be revealed! - Task Manager
Hi,
The Task Manager in Vista does not show all processes until you click on "Show processes from all users" at the bottom left of the screen.
I was trying to help a friend find out what was slowing her computer. The process list showed everything at 0% but the physical memory was 86% to 97%. Once revealed the culprit was her Western Digital drive that was using the inordinate amount of CPU.
This problem has been reported by others on the Western Digital forum:
