Which version of Process Explorer are you using? It > could also be a SysInternals bug, as Andrew suggested... I like Process Explorer. In fact I use it instead of Task Manager. But there are 2 things about Process Explorer that I don't like. One is this wrong reporting of virtual memory and the other is the fact that Process Explorer does not have a nice little graph of Network usage nor number of users logged in (in the case of XP for example). I sure wish that SysInternals would fix this but I'm not knowledgeable enough to confront them intelligently. -- 640K ought to be enough RAM for anybody. - Bill Gates, 1981 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
