CPU utilization

One of my clients is suddenly having issues with CPU utilization. He had one of the earlier builds of Parallels 3, and it was running fine for several weeks. Today it's suddenly using 100% of the CPU a lot of the time, so I updated to build 5158 and that helped a little, but it still using too much. Anyone else having this issue?

 

probably an automatic update of one of his applications
or a scheduled scan for viruses

Thanks for the suggestion. I've checked out the Windows task manager, however, and I don't see anything that looks like it's chewing up much in the way of resources within the Windows environment. Any other thoughts?

 

remeber 100% on Activity monitor seems to be of one core not both

Yes. I am actually getting readings of 140% and higher a lot of the time on this machine, and the Windows virtual machine is dog-slow.

 

memory issues

too much ?

Xp VM like 500 to 750 mb

not enough empty space
