I am having a problem on a Windows 2000 Pro machine where XWin.exe
uses 100% of the CPU continually when I run a program which uses the
windows installer. For example, I tried installing iTunes: the iTunes
installation hung, and the CPU went up to 100%. I had to shutdown
XWin, and then the iTunes installation continued.
I have seen this with some other program installations on Windows.
I use the command '%RUN% XWin -fullscreen -clipboard
-silent-dup-error' to start the server, and I use WindowMaker as my
WM, but it is the XWin.exe process which is spiking.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John.
