Can Task Manager misreport?

[Paul Bulpit]

In trying to solve an V9 upload problem (which I haven't) I discovered the following:

The 'Check and Send Files' pane freezes totally and the windows go to 'Not Responding'. At this point most people crash out of Actinic and do all the usual bits. (None of which have helped me.)

However I left it running, because although the Task Manager Applications Tab showed 'Not Responding' and on the Performance Tab the processor was maxed out at 100%, the Network Tab still showed data being transmitted - and sure enough the upload did complete.

Is it possible for Task Manager to show false information?

It is common for Task Manager to show Not Responding when processes are very busy. It deems the process has stalled but in fact it is still actively doing it's business.
