Task manager reports memory usage in KB instead of MB

[Guest]

In the task manager, under the Process tab, memory usage is reported in KB
when it definately should be MB for all processes (except those few that do
use only a few KB of course).

I'm running Vista x64 (ultimate) with 4GB of ram.
All updates (and extras) have been installed.

When I first installed Vista in february it was reporting correctly.

Interesting note: when I create a new user on the same system, the memory
usage is correctly reported in MB.

Has anyone experienced similar behaviour ?

Thanks,

Mine displays in KB, it always has since installation. It would be nice
though if it could be put into MB.

I have never seen a task manager process display in any value other than
kb - on many hundreds of computers. You must be mistaken in what you
"thought" you first saw.

Actually yes I was mistaken, apologies. But it is, however, reporting
incorrectly.
What it actually is reporting now is this:

dwm.exe 23kB

where it should correctly report:

dwm.exe 23.457kB

Again apologies, it's been a while since I've seen the correct values.
