I responded to you in a hurry without trying to dig deeper into your predicament.

[i]I connected to my server via windows remote desktop and I cannot view cpu usage in the task manager.[/i]

What happens when you physically log into the machine and look at the task manager? In other words, if you physically logged in and viewed Task Manager do you see CPU activity? If you logged in via remote desktop and then physically went to the server, logged in and viewed Task Manager... the RD session would show no CPU activity in task manager but the physical session would?

[i]I know I'm runnning softwares that use at least 50% of entire CPU [/i]

Okay, so are you completely absolutely sure that this program is really using the CPU when you're monitoring it?

Does ANYthing show CPU usage in task manager? Launch Internet Explorer and see if IE moves around the CPU usage rankings. In fact, launch a few programs to make sure.

[i]it draws graphs in three different colors; red, green, and blue[/i]

The red line is your processor. So if that's moving up and down... something is using the CPU. Is the line generally pegged at 50%?

You can use perfmon to monitor core usage as well as which processes use the CPU. You can read more about it form the following links:

It's pretty simple. If you need more info, just let me know.

I would have expected more than 4GB of RAM though... but nevermind.

Okay, so that's bizarre about how TM is behaving. But that still makes me wonder: did TM show CPU movement when you were logged on locally even if the Remote Desktop session showed nothing?

Let's say that you access TM and the graphs show no CPU usage. But if you switched to "Processes" tab and sorted all processes by CPU, what would that show?

Here's a very slim possibility: Is your client's remote desktop session set for a fast or slow connection? Maybe it's just not refreshing the screen very much because it's set for a 28.8 connection speed. Check the "Experience" tab in remote desktop (nice shortcut: run >> mstsc) and see what it says. It's probably not the problem, but it can't hurt to look at it.

Keep us updated with what happens!
