I just noticed this yesterday. I selected different memory columns, none of them worked, and I've tried showing processes from all users. I'm using Win 7. It doesn't slow down my computer or does anything else. I just want to know why and how to fix it. Could anyone help me on this?

Thank you

cannot post pix :( it is like this: only shows K, without actual number of memory usage.

It's pretty much the same as this thread I found on Google.

Are you using any funky International settings on your computer? – Randolph West Jan 3 '11 at 21:27
superuser.com/questions/189361/… that question was about when task manager showing ridiculously small memory usage. I just have the exact problem as you (nothing show up), and it fixed the problem for me – Martheen Cahya Paulo Aug 6 '11 at 16:36

Open Task Manager

Go to processes Tab

View -> Select Colums

Select Memory

It's not the memory columns that i cannot see, but the actual memory usage. – Robin Jan 4 '11 at 8:07

It's from regional settings. I had Romanian, after installing something it no longer showed the amount, just K; I switched to English (US), it worked; I switched then back to Romanian and it is still working.

Indeed, changing to English and back to my nativ lenguage solves the issue. Thanks! – jaraics Feb 28 at 6:54

Try using the Process Explorer tool. It's a separate download, but it's free from Microsoft. It shows you basically every statistic and performance number available, many more details than the built in Task Maanager.

Thank you Davr, Just wondering do you know what causes this problem? Could it be something serious? – Robin Jan 3 '11 at 21:03

I also like DTaskManager for this and in general, as an improvement of regular task manager.
