Singers Display Uses All CPU 100%

[lmcmains]

I have one of the same shuttle computers. I can't see any anything to disable either. I installed a 256 agp video card in mine. It helps a little but sometimes mine has a glitch in the sound and graphics also. I have 2 Meg of memory.

Check in Control Panel/System. Look for the Device Manager on the Hardware tab and disable it there. Both cards should be listed under Display Adapters.

My onboad graphics card doesn't show up. I uninstalled the software to it when I installed the ATI agp board.

It may be down in another area.

i got mine working pretty good, I have a Radeon 9200se 128mb and when i installed it without doing nothing the same thing was happening, So i went into bios. there is three settings for AGP. 1st everything is set at default so I changed the video from PCI to Onboard/AGP Next I changed Buffer from 32M to 128M and then Apeture Size I Upped it to 256M. These Were the Specs for my Card. Now the CPU still goes up to 99% But my graphics don't stop like before. I'll Know better when I put it to the test on Saturday.

It would be probably be Singers database, I Tried putting in a AGP Graphics Card by ATI 9200se and it does same thing. So I don't think it is a Card issue. Laddie is correct, My problem is the same

How'd you guys get the cards to fit without problems?
I got a Nvidia AGP 256 card for mine and couldn't get it to fit without pinching some wires coming out of a connector on the edge of the motherboard and the heatsink interfered with the case?

I have a similiar problem as you guys except mine occurs when I import a singer disk track. Unfortunatly being the only tester with the problem made it difficult to determine if it was a program problem or my computers problem

Reading these I was thinking this might be a Shuttle issue (i have 2) but then I recalled I'm having the same problem with my Acer Laptop.

I don't use the singer database but I'll check it out and see if it does the same as yours.

I also have two shuttles with just about the same thing as yours. I put an ATI 256meg in mine and it didn't make much differance. When I load the singers database it runs the cpu usage up to 100% also. The other shuttle I still use the internal graphics card. They are both running at 100% when you load the singers database. I have 1.5 gig memory in the one shuttle with a 1.3 amd cpu.
The other shuttle using the on board graphics 32meg shared I have 2 meg of memory, and it has a 1.8 amd cpu.
Then on my third computer I have a duell core amd 4400 with 1 gig of memory and it uses 45-50% cpu usage when I load the singers database.
