If its not one thing its another.

sorry about the second post

EDIT Limneos is there any way you can make the text block larger like this? what about copy paste, clickable links????

Um, ok triple post. I swear they are different.

I have two simultaneous chat windows working at the same time. Both functional. that would be cool

Ive just noticed that whenever I use the gadget that my cpu usage ( dual 3.0ghz ) shoots from an average of 11-15% to 60%, and my poor system kicks all the fans into overdrive... has anyone else noticed this increase??

Hi Tews,
I used to have that problem with my old machine. The fix for me was using process explorer (or other similar utility) to set the process priority to idle.

EDIT: The process in question is sidebar.exe

Great idea but no joy

Hey Zig!
From your snip, I can't tell which process you set to idle. Is it sidebar.exe?

yep

laptop is now at 177F

EDIT: lowering to idle helped a bit. now 170. when just gadget is sleeping 130F
