I'm just checking a new install of 2008 on my local PC. I'm looking at Activity Monitor. A number of website mention the following panes:
Overview -
Active User Tasks -
Resource Waits -
Data File I/O -
Recent Expensive Queries -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175518.aspx

I don't have "Active User Tasks" I've googled but found no help. Is this only available in some editions? My version is:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (RTM) - 10.0.1600.22 (Intel X86)

Yes, it's not in an obvious place! In Server Management Studio, right-mouse-click on the server & select "Activity Monitor".

dexter cheers for reply - I can open Activity Monitor - it's what is displayed in the monitor I want to check. Do you have an "Active User Tasks" pane in your Activity Monitor?

oops - misread your post. I think active user tasks is the "Processes" pane.
