[quote][b]John Evans (2009-08-15)[/b][hr]Has anybody run into this problem?

Whenever I click on a diagram in Modlr, and then click on another diagram VS2008 (Win7) uses 100% cpu.

If I open Gaffr, it starts using 100% cpu, before anything is even opened.

I'm not sure what has changed on my system because it never used to do this.

Strange...

The problem was due to a corrupted font cache.

Fix:

1. Run services.msc
2. Stop Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0 service
3. Delete FontCache3.0.0.0.dat

in XP:
%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Application Data

in Vista: %windir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local

4. Restart the machine

It's been fine on win7 for many weeks. Not sure what went wrong.

We haven't done any testing on windows 7 ourselves... I'll see if we can install it on a VM for testing.

No problems in safe mode... Love to know what's causing it!

Hi Jonas.

I'm using the current build on the download page. No it has not always been like this. It used to work fine and I can't see anything that has changed on my system except for the latest Visual Studio security update.

But I'm not sure why that would cause Gaffr to have any problems.

Visual studio takes 100% cpu (as does Gaffr) and remains frozen. You can't interact with the designer.

It's really strange. I have tried all the compatibility options in Windows 7, as well as removing the security update. And reinstalling Visual Studio, and ECO. I also tried the latest daily build.

It must be some strange Windows 7 problem. It's just weird that it suddenly happened now.

I'm going to format and install the RTM - just waiting for my license to arrive.
