Whats Running In The Background? Help:

Posted: 05-08-2007, 10:33 PM
I'm running Vista Ultimate Full version and downloaded the "CPU and
Memory" monitor and it keeps showing that something is running in the
background and is using 35% of memory.
How can I check in Vista to see what is doing this.
Thanks

Wouldn't it maybe be Vista itself using 35%?

Run taskmgr.exe, go to the Processes tab, make sure you check the "Show
process for all users" at the bottom. Also, go to View -> Select Columns,
and select the 'Memory (private working set)'.
