    First of all, :D , welcome to Major Geeks. What Operating system are you using? XP, Vista or something else?

    I've attached 2 thumbnails.

    First one displays Performance Tab, as I have it set up for me.
    Second one displays Processes running in Processes tab.
    I have sorted mine alphabetically A-Z. You can display in various sequences depending on which column heading you click on.

    Is this what you see? Bazza

    I've seen it, but had no idea how to fix it. Thanks shanemail for teaching me a fix for this. Here's hoping I can remember it, if I stumble across someone with this problem. :eek:
