Updated 4 question? : the use of the graphics processor shows 60% CPU, but inside the VM Task Manager shows 3-10%

Hey guys...

Hoping that someone else noticed this. I have a host that is running with a release of U4 freshly updated three virtual machines running. One of the three shows a CPU usage abnormal on customer VIM graphics, but when I'm sitting inside the virtual machine, the CPU usage is normal 3-10% with a bit high spikes every now and than. If anyone else has noticed something weird like that? I restarted the VM and the host and its always show this. VMware Tools are updated etc. His host W2K with 2vCPU and 3 GB of ram.

Thank you!

Each unique Windows 2000 multi proc machine I P2V would had this problem.  No exception.  The strange thing is that Windows 2000 VM built from scratch are very good.  Change the HAL to single proc will correct the problem, but if you really need and processors multiple (as we do) then the only option I found is to play with the advanced VM option 'monitor.idleLoopSpinUS '.  A value of 2000 is a good compromise for us.

    I use Firefox for two years now and use the flashgot. and I really like it.
    This laptop has firefox on it since the first day. and I got flashgot on this as well. But today when I tried to download something that I have that option (save the file) flashgot wasn't there. I was a little surprised but downloaded and installed flashgot anyway. He asked me to restart firefox and I let him. then when it restarted I had a lot of pop windows asking me which application is used to open this link (it wasn't a link and I got only firefox so I picked it up) was windows 10 or more pop so I chose to use this option for all. When I did so all of a sudden got a lot of poping up tabs, then a new window pop Firefox on with a lot of poping up tabs and then a new window. i've got up to 19 poping windows with lots of tabs. I had to close it with the Task Manager.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: a new profile

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins»

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • IE8 does not close. Browser closed, but the poster Task Manager always seems as its opening. Whenever it opens a different istance of ie8 opens.

    When I run my browser (ie8) everything seems normal. I tried to close it with file, output but also by clicking on the red x or the other way give the same result. Manager tasks indicates that it can still even if it disappears from my office. When I open it again another instance of ie8 opens with the original still on Manager tasks. IE8 will continue to add to the list whenever I open and close the Task Manager. The only way to really close he must choose end task for each instance listed in Task Manager. It causes also the process runs my cp at 100% until I close it.

    I had exactly the same problem.  I went through the Add-ons in IE8 individually until I found the culprit.  I started with all Add - ons disabled and could close all Windows IE8 without blocking or question (note that all iexplore.exe processes [5] disappeared after the closure of the last window to IE8).   And then I activated the Add-ons in the groups.  After each group, I retested IE8 by opening 4 times, each with a different link, but the same 4 links every time.  If I was able to close all Windows IE8 4 without blocking and could see all 5 close processes after the closure of the last window to IE8, I proceeded to the next group of modules.  When I had activated almost all THE Add-ons, I triggered the blow that left every 5 iexplore.exe processes running, forcing me to complete the process on each... the Adobe PDF link Helper version 9.1.0.163 for the AcroIEHelperShim.dll file.  If I enabled all OTHER modules, but left Adobe PDF link Helper disabled... everything works normally again.

    I don't check no. updates were missing from my install Adobe Reader 9.  I also looked for Adobe.com anything regarding this issue or this DLL, but found nothing.

    I hope this helps others out there.

  • The Windows Task Manager: blue line

    What is the blue line in the Task Manager, in physical memory usage history graph. line is approximately centered on the graph of the length. Thank you

    Cbronzo,

    Physical memory usage history graph shows the frequency that your memory is used. If you open the Task Manager as soon as you start or when you open a program, you will see this bar mounted. When you close a program, you will see fall. Generally however, when your system is idle, your memory usage is not fluctuate much.
    I hope that answers your question!

  • Causing the Windows Task Manager to Internet problems?

    When I open the Task Manager to change the priority of a program (change by normal normal CPU use above) it causes my ping in games to soar and I get huge lag spikes and possibly disconnect. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. I had no such problem with Windows Vista.

    Hello

    If you change the priority of any program in the Task Manager, performance of other programs will be hampered.

    I use WIndows XP.  After that THINKPOINT is presented on my system, I have not been able to access my task manager or restore my system to an earlier date.

    I have checked Kellys Korner and various other suggestions on the internet, but have had no luck with anything.

    It shows that the HKEY value for the Task Manager is set to 0.  Don't know if that helps.

    I BELIEVE I have the THINK POINT removed from my system.  I use Microsoft Security, Ad-Ware and Malwarebytes Anti - Malware.  Between the 3, it seems I have everything.

    But now I can not restore my system, or use my TASK MANAGER.

    Think like a malicious software...
    It infects your system and is not to be found and removed.
    What are you most likely to use to find and remove malware?
    Internet, Google, Task Manager, regedit, restore the system command prompt, etc...
    The malware is often afflicts one or more of these components to try to trick into thinking you need to perform a system restore, a repair facility, or even to reinstall your XP from scratch.  None of these things are necessary since you can usually just to thwart malware.
    If the referenced files are completely absent from your system, you will see messages like this when you try to run the applications:
    Taskmgr.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because VDMDBG.dll is not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
    Rstrui.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because framedyn.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
    Sometimes you can click through the OK messages to access the System Restore screen, but the restoration of the system is still broken.
    If the referenced files are present on the system, but somehow corrupted, you will see messages like this when you try to run the applications:
    Taskmgr.exe - bad Image
    The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\VDMDBG.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.
    Rstrui.exe - bad Image
    The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\framedyn.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.
    Sometimes you can click through the OK messages to access the System Restore screen, but the restoration of the system is still broken.
    These files are part of the file 3498 who cares about Windows File Protection, so unless the WFP is also broken it is likely that files are missing completely (you get a different error message).  What is more likely is that the files are somehow corrupt or have been replaced by incorrect files.
    Assuming that XP is installed on your C drive and in the windows folder, XP keeps copies of 3498 files that he cares about this issue:
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
    On a health care system, Windows File Protection keeps track of 3498 protected files and quickly and quietly replaces all the files in the list that appears missing from the backup folder.  File protection Windows will not replace the files if they are somehow corrupted or replaced by bad files.
    You can simply copy the backup files in the dllcache folder in the folder where are the suspects or missing files.
    Using Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache and individually to copy the backup files in there and then navigate the folders where the suspect or incorrect files are and paste in the copied files.
    Depending on your installation, you can also find copies of the files in this folder:
    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
    Answer Yes, if you are prompted to replace existing files.
    Test your functions now and then to reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick', and then fix any problems.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.
