 I've been running the program 24 hrs/day for 2 days, and, yes the task manager shows 100% useage, but there's no slowing down, and no overheating here. The program seems to back off so I've got the horsepower when needed. Glad to help, and I'll keep the porch light on (and the cpu as well). JJ |

Yes, me too JJ. I have two machines running for 3 days and the client has behaved as you say. Hope that bulb does not burn out. Keep it going.

I started running WCG yesterday and noticed that the body of my laptop became quite hot. Today I have been running it with the laptop resting on four rubber erasers that lift it about 6mm above the desktop, allowing air to circulate underneath. Although the fan exhaust air is quite hot, the body of the laptop is much cooler.

Hmmm same here, I just downloaded and installed it a couple of hours ago and it seems to be running fine, despite the fact that in taskmanager it does say it is running the CPU at 100%. And when I run CPU demanding programs it seems to back off so it doesn't affect performance.
I keep my computer on 24/7 anyway for downloads so it's great for mechrisp47 |
