Windows 7 and deskscapes processor utilization
Sunday, October 25, 2009 by Dovreen | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers
Hello, just installed new version of Windows 7 on 2 computers. Both have either dual or quad processors. I noticed that when dreams are running the processor utilization goes up to about 50 % on the dual and about 69% on the quad. These are clean installs of windows 7 and all drivers updated for motherboard and video card. Anyone else seeing hight CPU usage with dreams.

Hi Amitsaran, I did try onof carguys1's dreams and this seems to be correct. I didn't think to try another because I was trying to stay with the holiday theme. You were right. Hope I can find other dreams that will work. Thanks for assisting.

Which of the dreams are using high CPU ????? Im asking this coz many dreams are encoded in .wmv and will always use high cpu!! Did you try any of CarGuy1's or mine ? As most of them are encoded mpeg-2 and use very low CPU.
Also, after the release of new Deskscapes, you can use Hybrid dreams which will use almost nil cpu, though there are only a few hybrid dreams available just now, checkout Island dog's gallery for those, he's done a few !!
