100% processor utilization by QB.EXE on Windows 2000
 
 
Hi Plasma,
I read about your useful floppy patch for qb and I have another problem: Running the IDE causes 100% of processor utilization on my Windows 2000 machines so that my processor is getting quite hot. I think this problem could be patched by adding an interrupt call to the code of the IDE. Always when INT 16 (keyboard) is called there should be a call to [url=http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-4530.htm]INT 2F, AX=1680h[/url]. This interrupt does the same as DoEvents in VisualBASIC and reduces the utilization. But I don't really have an idea how to realize that. I thought of a TSR program which catches all the INT 16 calls and a modifcation of the ASM code of QB.exe but I'm not at home with ASM. Can you help?
Sebastian
