I'm using a third party system monitoring and tweaking program called AnVir Task Manager
I have a full version that I obtained as a free install from www.giveawayoftheday.com
but you had to get it that day. they do have a free version, and it will probably give the information you want, which it puts in the system tray, CPU, disk, memory, and network usage each in there own little icon, and lots more if you open any of them or the main application window.

It can convert any number of PDFs in a directory with a single command. It can convert PDFs that Adobe Reader either cannot or will not convert. <grin> Jamal On Fri, 19 Dec 2008, Chris Hallsworth wrote:Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 19:46:43 -0000 From: Chris Hallsworth <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: off topic - accessibility Ah, but perhaps Fox It reader hasn't got the code to tell screen readers toactivate its virtual buffer.
