| | | That is the problem. When the game finishes and the "fire
| | works" are going off the CPU usage stays at 100% as long
| | as the spider window is active. If I switch to a
| | different active window the fire works pause and CPU usage
| | goes down to nothing. I have been running several
| | programs before that total to about 1% CPU usage, but when
| | the fire works are active it sustains at 100%. The Kernal
| | times are also high. I am woried because as I monitor my
| | CPU temp. It steadily rises. I haven't let it go too far,
| | but my system runns at 45 C normaly and it has gotten to
| | 59 C in about 5 min. Sorry for any confusion, but I am
| | woried about system stability.
