I just installed 5.02 and noticed that when I have the MyInfo window opened, CPU for MyInfo.exe runs at about 20%, even though I am not doing anything. When I minimize the window, CPU goes down to about 2%. I turned off the live spell checking, but still running at ~20%. Anybody else seeing this? I am running in a Windows XP VM, but don't think that should matter.

Thanks,

I have 5.02, and I show 0% usage when the window is opened or minimized. I am not using live spell check.

Thanks dbroccardo. I've installed 5.02 in a non virtualized environment and see only about ~2% cpu usage, so looks OK. Not sure what the deal was with the Windows VM (on Macbook pro).

I have been using version 5.02 for a few days. I am getting the same problem running under Vista -- plain, no VM. In my case, CPU usage in the task manager is about 60%. As with mcconnma, usage drops dramatically when I minimize MyInfo.
In addition, I notice a significant easing when MyInfo is the active window. That is, when I'm working in any other window, MyInfo is taking 60% of my processor. But as soon as I click on the MyInfo window, that usage drops below 10%. I've tried rebooting, but that didn't fix the problem.
Is anyone else noticing this? Any ideas?

Last minute update: as I'm about to hit Submit, MyInfo usage has dropped to about 20%. Till now, it's been in the 60% range for about an hour (my estimate). So what might MyInfo be doing that took an hour of 60% cpu, and appears to still be taking some smaller amount of processing?

I to have experienced high percentage of use.
It dramatically increases when I'm also using an Access Database, it gets so bad sometimes that I close MI and finish what I'm doing with Access and then reopen MI.

Its a pain but I still LOVE MI.

We have found and fixed that problem. There will be an update with the fix in the next few days!

Excellent news ... GOOD job!

In version 5.04 I still have this problem. Even when it is not the active window, MyInfo is taking 10% of a dual-core CPU (20% single core).

When it is the active window, just moving the mouse around can cause the usage to go up to 30% (60% single core).

OS: Windows 7 x64

Does anybody else have this problem? It is still a daily issue for me.

It will be fixed in the upcoming service release.

Hot dog! This is great news. I had just downloaded a Windows debugger to try to track down the issue, and finally resigned to go back to MyInfo 3.x or 4.x to work around this problem.

Thanks Petko!
