Hi All,
I have a annoying problem with RS with WinXP. While I render scene
and I try to use material window or other window.
Xp halts completely. RS takes 100% off CPU time. All Xp updates are
in use. What could be the source of
this? I used SP1 for this reason over 2 years. Linux seems to be ok
with this problem :)

I know the problem and always blamed Windows as usual ;)
Nowadays when it happens (real loses the interface and starts to
flicker like crazy) I just sigh or curse, depending on the mood of
the day, and wait for the render to finish, it's still rendering not
really dead...
Another tip if you're using all cores and render speed isn't
critical: disable Automatic Multithreading in the render settings,
this keeps the machine much more responsive. I wonder how this works
on a Mac Pro with 8 cores ;)
