434167 2006-02-27 05:51:00 Hi there I just found out that when winamp was loaded and playing the cpu usage was constant at 98-100% but when using other programs the usage is normal...

What is the cause of this?

434171 2006-02-27 06:49:00 have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling winamp? sometimes an upgrade will keep the old plugins which can cause problems.

is 5.2 on the main winamp page yet? last i saw it was an unoffical release.
