Task Manager - one 2 many ?
Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2004 9:58 pm
Just played a quick game of starwars online ... a little tension breaker .. anyway it kicked me out of the game right in the middle of it and I find myself in windows with the program still running on the task bar and everything moving to a crawl ... hmm not good ... anyway i press the good ol ctrl-alt-delete to get task manager and shut starwars down 
well stuffs still loading and things are crawling and I'm getting frustrated and sure enough , no task manager yet . damn
So I hold down ctr-alt and hit delete multiple times, still nothing, then I do some more key combos and then some more to no avail.
Then suddenly taskmanager appears !
but wait - its still slow, a dead crawl and I'm even more frustrated than before .. and something wierd is happening .. damn , I made things worse ... NOW I have 34 task managers running!! - anyway my question is this :
Why does the task manager not check to see if an instance of itself is running ? is it needed to have 34 task managers running or even 2 ? Why not just one ?
havent had time to think about it, just curious.
