Using PView

The PView process viewer lets you examine and modify many characteristics of processes and threads running on your Windows NT system.

PView can help you answer questions like these:

• What are the process identifiers (PID) of the running processes?
• How much memory does the program allocate at various points in its execution, and how much memory is being paged out?
• Which processes and threads are using the most CPU time?
• How does the program run at different system priorities?
• What happens if a thread or process stops responding to DDE, OLE, or pipe I/O?
• What percentage of time is being spent running API calls?

Warning  PView lets you modify the status of processes running on your system. As a result, by using PView, you can stop processes and potentially halt the entire system. Make sure that you have saved edited files before running PView.

PView95 provides some of the same features for processes and threads running on your Windows 95 system.
