Difficult to say. Single keystrokes seem okay but keyboard auto-repeat (e.g. scrolling up/down in QD or moving the pointer around the screen) and mouse movement varies between sluggish and comatose :-( > > Then I ran Task Manager and saw that QPC2 was using almost 100% > > CPU time! > > It is normal for Qpc2 to take a large slice of available CPU time, > typically over 90%.

No. When the Windows pointer is outside the QPC2 window, the CPU usage drops back to almost zero (which is what happens on the Windows 2000 laptop if I stop typing in the QPC2 window or moving the QPC2 pointer)...
