just to clarify, when show Task Manager show CPU 98, it seems not the

Utilization is measured as any process running that is not Idle time.
IdleTime + SumOfAllProcessTime = 100%

Percent of time spent in idle is non-utilized time but Taskman and PE will
show the percentage of time spent in idle vs. other tasks.

Process Explorer does NOT work on Windows 98, I tried (though I read
somewhere that it works on Win98). When executed, it show the timer some
time(that take some pause more than normally), but no GUI shown. I just end
it via Task manager.

News to me. PE's help file says it supports all OS but maybe that only
applied for older versions of PE and they never updated the help file or
perhaps there is a different download version for 9x/Me.

From help:

"Process Explorer does not require administrative privileges to run and
works on Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Server
2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and on the x64 version of 64-bit
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008."
