DesktopX problem...

I'm using WinXP + DX 1.95b

The problem: CPU = 100%

I've been reading about 10 pages of the messageboard and a few ppl do have problems with DX, but nothing relating to CPU usage. I'm wondering if it's a known bug on certain systems or the beta version. If not, should I use the version 1.3 instead ?

It's worth mentioning that 100% CPU doesn't happen with any other Stardock app, or any apps for that matter.

Thanks in advance.

I suspect you are using a theme that has some kind of cpu monitor or something similar built into it. Some of these have been known to cause problems. I think it may be one of the DX Toys monitors, but I can't remember which one. Does this happen with all DX themes, or just certain ones?

I tried about 10 of them. And you're right, most of them had a cpu monitor built into it. I use the blank DX theme between each load, and the same thing happens anyway. I'm a little lost here.

It's a shame really, because many DX theme are pure gems, some from 2001 and 2002.
Edit: I can see the 100% CPU usage from the process viewer from WinXP, not from the theme CPU monitor...
