I use real player with my Vista Desktop 32 bit because it has a feature that
will let you download videos on the web. What I have noticed is that when I
am all done downloading a video I can still hear my hard drive working quite
a bit. After awhile of this I decided to open up the task manager to see
what was going on and I noticed that my CPU was at 55 percent. The last
thing I had used was real player so I found it under processes and shut it
down and then my CPU went down to 1 percent. This happens every time but
does not happen on my laptop 64 bit vista. I have also had times when I
was watching a video in windows media player and shut it down and the sound
kept playing. Again I had to use task manager to close it. I don't know if
they are related. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
