This version fixes lockup problems experienced in previous versions on dual core systems. Lots of information on processes running on your system. A learning curve and information overload. Not for beginners!

Works very well and gives much more information and flexibility than Task Manager. For those who think that it is too complicated, maybe you shouldn't be using this software :P

Agreed. Still awesome and indispensible.

eaves Review the product, not the owner. The sysinternals tools have not been affected by the MS takover at all. Do not let your biased hate affect the review. Easily a 5

sysinternals.com is now actually microsoft.com. Microsoft now controls the sysinternals suite. How will we know when Microsoft "fixes" process monitor to display only those processes that microsoft wants us to see, i.e., hiding the DRM processes?

yo! 3 releases in 2 days! ahem... I don't find it quite useful as it is... It should develop some... more efficient if even more complicated way to manage the information.

It just the answer to the question: what's going on right now? Useful and indispensable.

Very good and usefull ! But I still need to use the "old" FileMon and RegMon because ProcessMonitor now only work starting Win2K SP4 Rollup 1 (SP4 seems not enought) and it crashes on machines running Kaspersky anti-virus whenever you disable it, you must fully uninstall, may be because klif.sys driver is still started if you only disable/quit Kasperske (I have seen other poeple with same problem on sysinternals forum).

I use Filemon and Regmon as well, but only because they're much easier and faster to use when I only want to watch FSO or registry activity.

Starting this program will merely start harddisk and registry activity ad infinity by itself, thus it is worthless at actually finding out what is happening.

RE: process monitors overhead "activity ad infinity" The default filter settings remove "self" activity from the visable display. Yes Process Monitor has an impact as it works but the information it provides is well worth the slight impact it introduces. RE:Process Monitor v2.92: This update adds a toolbar button that makes the process tree dialog more accessible. In order to make it easy to zoom in on a particular time range in a trace, it also introduces two quick-filter context menu items that enable you to filter out events before or after a selected event.

A very good diagnostic type app but of course to make full use of it you need to know how to use it.

Fantastic Facilities, like Restart an app, a Process, & if your Desktop Crashes, It's Great Restart Explorer and Viola! Don't Substitute it for the Task Manager in XP Pro, Unless You Know the Registry Key to Re-enable it! When Desktop Crashes it disables the Task Manager, like pulling the carpet from under You! Use it as a quick Launch gets me out of trouble Daily! It's the Task Manager MS should Use Period!

-Starting this program will merely start harddisk and registry activity ad infinity by itself, thus it is worthless at actually finding out what is happening.- Wilfried is a COMPLETE Idiot. Of course it wont do YOUR job for you, stupid ass, it's a TOOL you babbling baffoon. It is to diagnose read/writes. That is a GOOD place to start to find out what programs are causing system slow downs. Despite what Wilfried the dork has to say, Sysinternals makes GREAT tools, no equal Campaign to initiate deletion of stupid posts!
