Hello,

When I investigate Task Manager Processes I see "System Idle Process" 
taking up 99 % of the cpu but if I click on the Performance tab only 2 
or 3 % of the cpu is in use. My computer runs normally and responds 
snappily so I'd give a look at the performance tab before taking the 
numbers in Processes to heart.

Later, Ray Parrish
