Hi all,
I have a 1.53GHz AMD cpu and a Soundblaster Live! under Win2k, and I've noticed when I'm playing 'Full Throttle' by Lucasarts using VDMSound that my cpu usage rockets to 100% like it's under heavy load, for the duration. Is this normal?
Thanks
Most dos games don't use the functions to release cpu cycles back to the operating system when they are waiting for events. So the operating system gives them all the cpu power available.
Not that they normally had to release cycles anyway since in dos there is only 1 running program.
In other words, "yes", it's normal. 😀
If you use the Launchpad, you can try reducing the CPU usage, but there really isn't a good reason to, unless you're running a program that's particularily prone to freezing up.
Yes, it’s my fault.
Okay - thanks for the help 😀
No problem. Thread closed: RESOLVED.
Yes, it’s my fault.
