Hello,

I have been quite smug since I got my A3000 because SS3.4 has been running so sweet, that was until FRiday. I booted it up as normal and it loads up just as quick but then it just uses all the CPU resource for minutes and minutes and the Memory usage just keeps going up! I think the highest it has been is over 200Meg of RAM which is of course rediculous.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice and the second time I made sure I deleted the Son y registry keys as well as I have seen elsewhere in the forum. NO luck. I phoned Sony, they were no help, they said they had not come across this before. They said they would refer ot to there tech dep and drop me and email with some instructions. Nothing yet.

I thought there might be somebody here who has experienced this? It appears to be only this software that makes the PC hang.

My PC is home built:

Athlon XP 2800

ASUS A700 -MX Mobo

512 Kingston RAM

XP Pro SP2

Zone Alarm, Ad Aware etc

Cant remember what Harddrives I have?

Appreciate any ideas, advice etc

Cheers

HP

No. I made sure it was just SS that was the problem so I run it by itself. Thats why I'm so confused, it was fine...now it isnt. I cant even connect my player because it takes about 10 minutes just to read the hard drive where before it took about a second!

Ummm only some Video editing software, dont think its related tho... i never run the programs at the same time. And I have had software from that company (ULEAD) on my pC for months and not been a problem before? Suppose I can try uninstall of both and then reload SS.

Might be a good idea to sort ot before 4.0 comes out soon otherwise problem might persist.

Ok problem solved, somehow....its trust level in zone Alarm had changed, I upped the trust level to the highest setting, and its fine. What I dont understand is why it would cause SS to be a resource hog and run slow?

Ah well It works agains so I'm not gooing to argue...can install ss 4.0 CP with confidence now :)
