Hey guys, can you help? I've narrowed down my problems to nothing in my code, but Delphi itself tacking 100% CPU resources... Whats happening - Delphi open with blank "new application" application, nt task manager open with the graphs showing. If I move the mouse back and forth it sits around 5-10%, now the fun begins, I run the app, moving the mouse back and forth OUTSIDE the app CPU is still at 5-10, move the mouse back and forth INSIDE the app and it shoots up to 45-50% (is this normal?), when I quit the application is sits at 100% CPU (delphi32.exe) and waits about 2-3 minutes before returning to delphi. When I run my real app, it doesn't even get to a running stage and its hanging and stalling the system at 100% CPU, if I leave it for ages it eventually comes alive (albeit REALLLLLY slow i.e. 30 seconds to move a window (for it realise i've gone click and drag)... HELP - anyone seen this, know whats going on, have any pointers? -- Mark Derricutt "People in prayer for me, everyone there for me, ICQ: 1934853 sometimes I feel I should face this alone, my Wrk: 377-9941 soul exposed... it calm's me to know that I Fax: 377-9947 won't!" = Dream Theater - Scarred DDI: 375-3754 Now Playing: <no audio cd present> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz
