High CPU useage

According to the Win Taks manager, MSsched.exe was taking up a high level of cpu resources. The CPU was running at 100%. I closed MS and the cpu useage dropped to 19%, then reloaded it and it has stayed low. What should I look at to prevent that happening. I have noticed in earlier posts a reference to putting in a wait in loops, but I was not running any macro at the time.

Not sure what that could be if you weren't running a macro! Which version are you using? If this happens again please let us know what Macro Scheduler was doing at the time, or what you did previously.

Version 8 Beta 007

I noticed the problem because I was not able to go to various common urls. This can mean that the cpu is not able to handle the requests from my browser.

I haven't used MS since yesterday, when all I did was copy in some of your code that you had posted to the forum. I did not run the program. Is there a log that I can check for useage?

This is very weird. There's no log, but let me know if it happens again.

Although no macros were running, were any scheduled to run? I think if a Macro Scheduler script is scheduled, then there could be a possible hit on CPU usage.

But I have many scheduled items and have never had a resource problem that I could trace back to Macro Scheduler. And this is with multiple OS environments and all versions of Macro Scheduler.
