  • How does Windows XP Task Manager know when a program is not responding?


  • When task manager says "Not responding" does not actually mean that the application is dead. You will notice this behavior when a program starts doing some intensive processing and hogs lot of CPU and does not yield. At that point, you will notice that TM will display "Not reponding message". Usually the culprits are the contained components in the main process. For example if you have a rogue ActiveX control hosted in Internet Explorer and that component goes into runaway condition, then TM will say that IE is not reposnding. TM usually makes decision based on WM_IDLE message. If a process is not yielding to this message or not reponding to the message TM puts up that message. Usually TM sends WM_GETICON message to the process. If it does not return then.... "Not responding"
