Howdi basically I'm having abit of trouble with my computer I have 2GB DDR and was just wondering why my computer is only using up 1/8 of this to transcode in Nero Vision and on task manager it is showing up as 100% CPU usage while at the bottom it say commit charge: 292M/3880M.

Also basically I'm asking if you can someway designate more space to be used up while transcoding?
And also why is it showing that my system is using 100% when clearly looking at the commit charge and the running processes it is not?

PS I only have 24 processes running as this is a new computer.

kind regards
paul

You could try using processes to change the priority for Nero while it is transcoding, though you would need to do this each time

When you burn with Nero there is an option to change the priority on the panel

Yeh I'v tried doing this but it doesn't nero vision doesn't seem to allocate more memory into it and it makes the system way too unstable.

I'v posted this in another forum and they've told me to check primary DMA settings and they say that it sound like my hardrive slipped into PIO mode,

what is PIO mode and how do you check primary DMA setting?

I may sound stupid :blink: , but help would be greatly appreciated.

PS Nice flag its good to see one of our own in places like this once in a while. :whistling:
