Re: Windows XP Pro....system idle process issue?
If you click on the column that lists the process cpu % it will be sorted in descending numerical order, so you can see what is using the most. As % add up to 100, system idle process consumes what nobody else wants, so don't worry about it. It runs as the lowest of the low, so don't worry about it. Whatever your problem is, it is not with the system idle process. Thats just telling you that nothing else is wanting cpu time.
