It happens very often that when I use Windows Live Messenger within PD 3.0, the pc goes to maximum CPU usage. When the webcam is turned on, it also happens that the video blocks and only text can be send trough. It is obvious that this aint pleasant. So the question is: how to solve the problem?
 
builds? PD 3.0 build 5584
OS ? Mac OS 10.5.2 with Windows XP Home SP 2
RAM? 2 GB, 512 MB set for Windows XP Home
computer? MacBook 2 GHz, 2 GB memory, 74,21 GB hard disc
DSL ? adsl
connection speed? 512 KB in, 32 KB out

I did it before and it worked fine, no troubles at all. Why different now?
 
Are you using a USB webcam? Isn't there a known issue with USB devices on recent builds? I think I'm having the same problem.

Same for me

As soon as I log in to MSN live messenger the CPU goes to the top.
Think this happened after I upgraded to Windows live messsenger 2008
build 8.5.1302.1018 the other day.

Read on another page that it is the commercials that brings CPU to top..
This sucks, I am just gonna uninstall the shit and use an other application...
