WMI - CPU Utilization Graphs shows much higher than actual

Have a problem on a couple 2000 Exchange servers, with the reported CPU utilization being reported *much* higher than actual.

- The graphs are displaying each of the 4, CPU's polling at 98% utilization.

- The web interface snapshot is showing a current (and constant) dial display of 98% CPU utilization.

- The java interface snapshot shows a correct 1% utilization on the snapshot, but the associated graphs, display an ongoing utilization of 98% for each CPU.

- Watching Performance monitor on the server I'm seeing 1% utilization more typical for each of it's 4, CPU's

This only seems to be a problem at the moment with the Exchange server WMI graphs. I have a 2000 SQL server (for example) with 7 CPUs which display graphs with accurate utilization charts for each of it's CPU's.

Any idea what the problem is? I've even installed OpManager on my desktop to check a seperate installation, and the WMI CPU utilization information has the same behaivor as the production OpManager installation.
