yeah the HQ playback is unchecked - i only wish it was something so simple as that.

Time machine is disabled but I usually have my mail and instant messenger running in the back ground.

Do you think it could be that?

Should i set the CPU usage limit to 95%?

all screen savers and bluetooth are off.
