Conflict with ActiveWords 1.9?

AW components pegging CPU usage to 100% when run with WB 5

November 30, 2005 2:11:54 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi,


I purchased WB 5 last night and love it. However, I have begun to notice some conflicts with ActiveWords. Specifically, when running both AW and WB 5 the various AW components (e.g. AWFeedback.exe) peg the processor at 100% and stay there. I have to kill them via TaskManager to solve the problem. Anyone else seeing this and is there a workaround? I've tried setting WB to ignore all of the AW components, but it hasn't helped ,even after a reboot.


Thanks,


Mike

I've had a chance to play with my system over the last couple of days and have discovered that this behaviour only occurs if AW is started AFTER WB. I unloaded WB, started up AW and then reloaded WB (and loaded up a custom skin) and all is well. If I shutdown AW and restart it with WB running, the problem reappears.

Just to update this thread - I ran without WB for about 8 months and then decided to install the latest build about a month ago. This behaviour has now been fixed. I've no idea at what point, because it's not mentioned in the history, but it's all good!

If it was fixed, it appears to have raised its ugly head...at least on my laptop. just bought and installed WB last night...major problems and conflict with AW i haven't tried starting AW before WB, but i experienced almost exactly what you report. has anyone seen this lately? any ideas for a fix?

i love both of these programs, but if one has to go, it would have to be WB...so please help me out!!!
