AlMonty - none at all? It happens to me over time...especially if I change a window blind. Could you try that sometime if you use WB?

TXpatriot - I am glad you chimed in. Well - I guess I can do some research to see what is happening then. I thought it was just Vista actually.

Yes, I think you are right. It is a Vista thing - a reboot clears it up for a while then back to acting up.

Well I agree - I am not totally sure either what is going on. I think the problem is not the LAN side but the WAN side. However - the preferred method has always been hardware for KVM emulation due to port collision problems. Here is the Multiplicity site - maybe some help there.

ZubaZ - I am not familiar with Multiplicity that is why I am asking. I can try to duplicate the problem on one of our servers to help. Edit: Okay I know now. I would not recommend using this program especially if you are in a domain environment with trusts setup between servers. If you are running multiple servers use hardware for keyboard and mouse emulation.

We also run the same Terminal Server setup. As you know there are a lot of things that can cause of access. Did you check your event logs to see what the server recorded at the time of WAN loss? Can you tell me what you are using multiplicity to do?

An added question - are you connecting via VPN (pix-to-pix)by chance? I am not sure of the architecture of multiplicity but I will do some research to see if I can help.

CursorXP using a lot of CPU in CursorFX WinCustomize Forums

When running CursorXP I have noticed it is using a high percentage of CPU processes up to 40% at times. Any ideas on why this is happening? It doesn't do it all the time but particularly when I change a windowblind. Of course it could also be a Vista Ultimate thing since that is what I am running. Running Core Duo 2 2.2G 2G Ram Nvidia M140 256M Video Memory Any thoughts?

Starkers - this is my last post on this subject due to the fact that this is clearly an emotional battle - which are never won. There is a saying regarding war. "In war the first casualty is truth." I could sit here and type for hours regarding the justification or injustice of war and I would not sway any opinions. I have my opinions as does everyone else. On this point - I will leave you with this - there is information to support all sides of this argument - t

Joe - credit given - I think you did a great job of framing a number of the imperatives involved. I would expect that you could list the true problems we face - and as has been said - a problem well stated is half solved. Keep working on the answers - save you up some money - and throw your hat in the ring to make a difference, who knows I might just be your biggest supporter!!! All the best my friend!

Well everyone I must run - thank you for the brisk discussion - Joe - hang in there - you and all the others have a right to your opinions and should continue to voice them - I for one fought for our right to do so, without hesitation, so do me a favor and use it as well as your right to vote when the time comes. I so wish there were answers that would resolve the sad issues that we and our children must face in our world. I say this - if someone comes along that has these ans

Snarph - I had someone ask me once if I made a conscience decision to be happy when I get up in the morning or do I just leave it to chance and "the world" to decide for me. Really got me thinking - there is a deep point in this question - one that I do think about - if I don't make that decision for myself then I really am giving that choice up to everyone and everything "out there" and I have no right to complain. Thing is - life is out there and will throw at us things we
