does anyone know why it suddenly peaks at a 100%?

alright, got it to work! while i'm at it, there are a couple of issues i'd like to tackle here and since you guys helped me with one of my problems, maybe you guys can help me out again. first, i have 128mb RAM, 184 GB harddrive, and Win2000 as you know. after downloading the driver and the comp. restarting, everything appears... large, very big. i know it didn't start in safe mode though, so anyone know how to adjust everything on the screen? secondly, win2000 seems to be a big memory hog. here's what comes up on task manager (keep in mind this is when i'm playing RTCW) (and since Neverwinter Nights runs so slow, i'm thinking memory may be a problem there too): CPU Usage 100% Memory Usage 268784K Totals: Handles 4733 Threads 297 Processes 25 Physical Memory (k): Total 261668 Available 75904 System Cache 123060 Commit Charge (k): Total 269004 Limit 436072 Peak 272616 Kernel Memory (k): Total 46220 Paged 40644 Nonpaged 5576 what processes are necessary to keep running? when i'm not playing the game and i bring up the task manager, it shows me that for a second, the CPU usage peaks at a 100% but immediately comes back down to like 3%. I know i'm all over here, but ANY suggestions/inputs will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot and happy gaming!

hey guys, thanks for answering back. i was also having problem with making my printer/scanner/copier work with win2000 (psc 500) and now i got it to print, but it refuses to scan! frustrations! anyways, i was rereading these threads and also visited the nvidia site... and a question popped into my head, how do you find out what exact graphics card you have? i can't remember but a few weeks back i had managed to find a way to look it up and now i can't remember (feel free to laugh!) i'm trying a couple of things now, please do keep on replying. thanks.

hi guys, i got win2000 os a couple of months back and i've noticed all of my games except for rollercoaster tycoon work on here. so i started thinking of going back to windows 98 SE, and a good friend is advising me against it. he said that his games played fine on Windows 2000 and that there may just be another problem with my games situation. now i've just installed Return to Castle Wolfenstein which used to work perfectly fine single and multiplayer. however, now that i've installed it on Win 2000, it gives me this error after the screen blinks twice "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem" please keep in mind that i only have an NVIDIA64 i think? (also, i am not a techie, so please go step by step). any ideas of how to make this thing work? also, is Win98SE better than Win2000, especially for gaming? this sucks kuz i hate the blue screen of death, but i also hate going through all of this mess just to make a game work. on a side note, i bought neverwinter nights and though it plays single player, it has HORRIBLE lag..... i.e character moves after 30 seconds. i'd like to make both of 'em work, so please help out. thanks in advance!
