Bird: But the poster said to shut "EVERYTHING" except task manager. Obvsiouly this completely incorrect and "dangerous" advice. If the person is a total computer newbie, he will literally shut everything down, and this would be very bad. Also, I'm just referring to my experience ... none of these mentioned "solutions" has a thing to do with the problem and do not work for me. Vue is getting 100% of the processor when I'm moving things. Pete: I know exactly what you're talkign about it, seen it many a time. But it's been oly about 24 hours, so let's give him the benefit of the doubt. He needs time to try some of these suggestions out. :) -Tim
