Director-based executables will use available CPU cycles, so if no other processes are waiting for CPU time, the application will use them in order to improve response time and event handling. The important aspect of this to note is that if another process needs the CPU, the application will not "hog" the CPU. It will defer to other processes that need CPU time.

Hi,
There is a file in the main program folder that ends in ".ini". If you edit this file, you can change a setting that may affect your problem.

change this line:
;BackgroundAnimation=1

to this:
BackgroundAnimation=0

Please let us know if that helps. Thanks--

nope
the cpu is maxed out
the ratio between user and system has shifted with about 10% towards the user following the .ini change
i believe this high cpu usage comes from the macromedia players that are in general panicky apps...

That could be. By default, the MM players want to use all available cycles. They say that the players "play nice" and give up cycles to other processes that request them. Personally, I've noticed that the effect is neglible on my desktop, but noticeable on my laptop.
