Have run into an odd problem I've never encountered before. Under an
install of XP Pro SP3, I find that if Pinnacle Studio 9 sits idle for
a long period ("long" being undetermined at this point) I find it
freezes up and can neither use it or close it down, even with Task
Manager. Have to hit the reset button and reboot. Have never
encountered this before. As it so happens this is the only machine
running XP pro I've had it on, had it on XP Home and Media Center
before this. When it's working initially it works fine. Will capture,
edit, make a DVD.

I thought it might be an issue with Pinnacle so I loaded WinDV but am
finding the same issue, so it seems it's related to whatever
commonality there is between them.

The other thing I notice is the machine falls into a state where it
shows 50% use of the processor on a Core2 Duo system.

Anyone else encountered this and found a way around it?

Thanks.
