DeskScapes high CPU usage on certain dreams

April 16, 2010 1:34:15 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi all,

I jsut recently did a fresh install of windows 7 x64 after a hard drive failure. I installed everything the same as before the system crashed, and now Im getting abnormally high CPU utilization across both cores when using certain dreams

System Specs:

Gateway P7811-FX laptop

Intel P8400

Nvidia Geforce 9800M GTS

4 Gigs DDR3 Ram

1920 X 1200 Res

windows 7 ultimate x64

64 gig Solid State hdd, 200 gig data drive

 

anyway, the dreams previously worked fine. I am even using the same version of the nVidia driver I was using before 197.16 mobile drivers. Any advice here?

Hi-Tek, by muckyman, Matrix Code v2.1 by Thomas Schanzer, and a few others.

What happens when you verify your DeskScapes install in Impulse?

More than likely, it is due to the dream being encoded in a WMV format. WMV uses more CPU then mpeg dreams.

Also, what are your power saving settings like?  I wonder if it's registering high CPU because the cores have clocked down with Intel's power management software.
