VISTA Issue: LabVIEW hogging CPU after quitting?


Recommended Posts

I think I have an issue with VISTA and LabVIEW, where I start LabVIEW and the CPU jumps to 50 to 60%, and when I quit LV, the CPU stays high until I restart the puter. Any thoughts?

Version 8.5.1 and Vista Homer Premium 32-bit.

I'm not running Vista, but...

Have you looked at the processes tab of the task manager to see who's using the CPU? The type of behavior you're describing can happen when a program becomes a zombie (I've had some of my LabVIEW programs do this under NT and XP.). Usually I see LabVIEW still listed under the Processes tab of the task manager but not the applications tab when this happens.

Thanks Tim. Coincidentally, I did that last night, and I *may* have deduced the problem: Google Desktop. Not sure why, but I don't really care, Google Desktop is a hog. I'll post another response when/if I know for sure.

I'm running Vista and have not seen this issue. I can confirm that Google Desktop is a hog though :) . Couple that with Vista and you don't have any system resources left at all.

OK, FYI, I've had much better performance since uninstalling Google Desktop.

Just curious, but why would you use Google Desktop and not Vista Sidebar? I think Sidebar is the slickest thing uSoft has come out with in a while and I've had no trouble at all with it hogging resources.
