    I have a little problem with samurize. my entire systems stops for a fraction of a secon each time samurize updates the screen. (wich happens once a second)

    This is very irritating when watching movies or playing games. It shows really good when something floats smoothly over the screen.

    What can cause this?

    I really want samurize running while playing games to monitor temps and such.

    a little system info:

    Intel P4 2,6GHz
    Asus P4P800 DELUXE mobo
    ATI FireGL Z1 (9500) as primary (running two monitors @ 1280x1024)
    Shappire (ATI) Radeon 9200 as secondary (running one monitor @ 1024x768)
    512MB of Some corsair twinx RAM. (i THINK it's 3200.. It's of the LL series)
    The rest isn't important, reallly..

    It sounds as though you could be running out of ram? Have you looked at your ram useage during normal use and during say playing a DVD?

    I have about 100MB free and a pagefile at about 380MB while watching TV or movie.

    If necessary, you can change the process CPU priority in the project options tab of the Samurize config tool - sometimes changing it from default (normal) to a lower setting can stop lag.

    I didn't fint the menu at first. Turned out that i had an old version. Seems like they have added a little more support for multi monitor setups aswell :)
