>>By looking at the Processor Time, you can get an idea of which ones are taking up a large chunk of time. Once you have this narrowed down, you can Refresh the list several times to see which one is currently taking up all the time.

Are you sure you are running the Process Viewer that comes with Visual Studio that installs with the Tools? I get a dialog form with 4 buttons down the left side (Exit, Memory Detail, Kill Process, Refresh) and a couple listbox type controls with Process, Processor Time, Privileged, User in the first and Tnread(s), Processor Time, Privileged and User in the second.

Are you running some utility that installs with Win9X?

I figured that would be the case, but it was worth a shot.
