        When System Idle Process is 99% that is good! Your system is 99% idle! You want it like that, now when you get the Klez worm, that is more like 00%.

                  I hear you don't actually pay for macs, you promise your soul to Mr. Jobs.
                  SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                    don't give jobs any ideas, or you'll see it on apple.com. i'm surprised they don't claim it goes from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds.




                    hahaha, system idle processes. isn't that self explanatory?

                        You could try getting an autosubmitter and running galleries for hypnogirls - http://www.virtubucks.com or Miss Bunny - http://www.bunnycash.com

                        That will take some of your system resources away from that dreaded idle state AND make money.

                          BDJUF is right..
                          Format your C drive and start again..
                          this means that your system is on the verge of a complete meltdown..
                          and could spread evil HACKER virii to the world.

                          IF you don't format the C:\ you are supporting hackers, and by supporting hackers you are supporting terrorism(everyone knows that the Taliban gets 10% of all hacker revenue)

                          Either that or before you get into a business that revolves around computers maybe you should get off your ass and learn how the fucking things work!!

                            A serious answer:

                            When that happens, windows is doing what it used to do openly - it's fixing your disk. Remember when you used to crash and reboot or pull out the power plug or whatever and scandisk would come up on reboot? That's what it's doing, just in the background.

                            Just let it be and it will finish its work.

                            Edit: It's weird, sometimes system idle shows 99% but performance shows 0%, in which case it truly is idle.. Sometimes both show 99%, which means that it's doing what I told you above, but not accurately reporting it.

                                It's a jok, dude. This year's version of the ever-repeated "Format C:". Also, in this case, I was kindof making fun of my fellow mac users. You know the old line, "Macs are for people who are too stupid to use Windows". A guy who is worried his system is 99% idle seems like a perfect candidate. ;)

                                    That happened to me with my dell

                                    It was the network that was causing it fits.

                                    Just unplug it from the network or internet and reboot..then just plug the cable in and you should be fine.

                                    Worked for me anyway.
