[Dx4win] 99 % CPU Usage

[Kostas SV1DPI]

I have experienced this also. In my portable computer hp omnibook Piii 850 
with 256 ram running xp from time to time i had this. When i shut off dx4win 
and restart the problem was gone.
In my desktop (Piv 3,2 with 1gb ram) never had this problem. This started 
after updating to 6.0. I have re-installed xp in my portable recently and i 
didn't noticed this agn.
