Entries Window Task Manager

Question

I am having difficulty with my connection tray locking up so checked on Windows Task Manager to see what was taking up the CPU usage.  Are the following legit and within usage peramiters? msmsgs.exe         8,048 notify alert.exe   10,576 CCAPP.EXE      11,456 DSL Log.exe        3,392 DSL Log.exe        1,116 Explorer.exe       23,376 IEXPLORE.EXE  11,740 SVCHOST.EXE LOCAL SERVICE  1396 SVCHOST.EXE NETWORK SERVICE 1364 SVCHOST.EXE SYSTEM 26,604 SVCHOST.EXE SYSTEM 2,764 SVCHOST.EXE SYSTEM 2,696 winlogon.exe 17,036   These are not all of the entries as I could not find a way to copy and paste from the Windows Task Mgr program, but these are the highest usage and the ones with more than one entry.  Anyone out there who can help me?  Also what is WMIAPSRV.EXE SYSTEM 1,952 usage.   Antann

The numbers you listed look like the amount of memory (RAM) each process is using, not the amount of CPU time they're using. The number in the 'CPU' column is the percentage of CPU time each is using and is probably at or close to zero. System Idle Process should be the highest (nearly 99%) because that measures how much free CPU time is available.

WMIAPSRV.EXE is XP normal performance monitoring software.

Whenever my computer freezes I go to task manager and two or more instances of dslog is running.This is part of dell support but when I see these entries I end the tasks and every time the computer unfreezes instantly.Just a observation,but I have been doing this for a year. Do not now what is causing this.
