   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.
