It certainly sounds like it's doing a lot of work. I've found that some applications hammer the battery just because they're loaded, even if they aren't apparently doing anything; the Ogg Vorbis player being a case in point. If I didn't close it after use in the evening, I'd wake up to a flat battery in the morning. A good way to see what's actually causing the problem is to open a terminal and run "top" - that will show you the CPU usage of the various processes. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk http://no2id-ip.web-brewer.co.uk ** This message is digitally signed.
