I have a problem in showing memory in task manager with memory and paging columns. Why it shows so small size usage? And maybe anyone knows how to fix it?

Here is a screenshot(working set, memory, page pool) sorted by most consuming: alt text

Check your Number format settings in control panel - regional options. The decimal symbol and the digit grouping symbol should be the different characters, e.g. . and ,. There are various glitches in some programs if they are the same.

See this article What do the Task Manager memory columns mean?.

You need to choose in the View menu "Select columns", which columns to display.

You might have wanted to see Memory - Working Set:

Amount of memory in the private working set plus the amount of memory the process is using that can be shared by other processes.

no, I want to see normal Working set size. Don't you see that most consuming software used only 293 K ? shouldnt it be like 293,xxx K ? – Viaceslav D. Sep 16 '10 at 13:52
This would be 293 MB which is enormous - almost one third of a GB. – harrymc Sep 16 '10 at 13:55

Indeed it is using 293 MB.So I want real number ) – Viaceslav D. Sep 16 '10 at 15:04
Why do you think it's using this amount? Have you tried the other memory columns? – harrymc Sep 16 '10 at 15:15
Yes I have tried all memory columns. At my workplace employees have normal display of the memory usage except me. And at home I also have them correctly displayed. Something is really wrong :) – Viaceslav D. Sep 16 '10 at 16:30

Run a System File Checker (SFC) on that PC.
