Ian, Are you aware that running both (assuming maps are loaded and polling is on, for both) is doubling the WUG load on the computer? There is really no need to run both as either provides the same capabilities, except that the program drives the display and the service does not (program uses slightly more resources for this reason)! I'd say you really don't need the service running, if you must have the display.
Are you also aware that whichever starts first is the one that provides the Web server capabilities? Some people believe that only the service provides the Web, but that is just not true! I'd say shut off one (service) and see what that does to CPU utilization (if you stop the service, which normally starts first, you will likely lose the Web, so stop the program and restart it and you should have the web service again). AV software can also consume resources and time, slowing down other applications, especially if it is checking a folder used by the application and whose contents change rapidly. Try shutting AV off and see what the effect is. If the effect is great, then check the configuration of AV (you should be able to configure it to ignore folders/files, probably little/no need to check those used by WUG, at least on a 'continous' basis).

It was running WUG Service, WUG Console (Reg modified), WUG WebServer, MRTG, Jagga WARFTP server, WordTime, McAfee AV and MS Office products (Outlook, Excel, Word). It also ran Dameware and Checkpoint software to client sites With 35 maps and some 300 devices even with 90s poll it was under some duress and would frequently freeze for 10s. I have just migrated it to a Compaq W8000 PIV, 2.6Ghz, 1G RAM) with same configuration. It runs much better but according to task manager the desktop WUG is running at maximum CPU all the time. Memory utilisation is 25% I know thta the "recomendation" is not to run the Service and Console together, but the console is much better than the web for what we need. Any ideas why WUG pushes the CPU to 100% permanently? Regards IanC Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
