re: System Idle Process taking 95% of CPU Monday, November 4, 2002 at 10:20 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6910 messages posted) No problem. I will keep checking.. I also run 2000 for some tasks (swappable HD bays). I make sure that all unnecessary services are turned off and that nothing like virus software is installed. Those types of software really impact on the processing. You can play around with the threading priority but most of the time it doesn't work or help all that much. Have you checked out blkviper.com for a rundown on the services and which ones can be turned off when you don't need them? That will make a difference too. Adobe Premier, Photoshop and Pro Tools thread very well on my system (modified Asus P2B-DS with dual P3-600 overclocked 1 gig RAM) so I would say something else is causing a problem in your system, either a driver or software. Just a process of elimination unfortunatly. Let me know how it goes. I'm always curious and eager to learn about what works and what doesn't.
