filmslayer: gonna take a look today at what else may be running
Good to see you back mate.
Yep, chances are something is going on in the background. I use Maxthon Cloud solely for WGT- one bonus is it has a CPU meter built in......a spike I stop the swing.....downside is it does not show in full screen.
I used to use an external program that could sit in the corner (older laptop, XP with poor Ram) and worked very well....found if I held the meter for a few seconds, the spike would go and was good to release and hit. Better laptop now, so no need.
Assuming the internet, mouse etc are good, if you are low on memory, close all other windows. Also, some Virus software will kill a meter, as can email programs downloading.
You need to find out what works best for you.
