Hi to all, I am located in Switzerland and my wife enjoys having MSN video sessions with her son located in Michigan State (USA). Unfortunately, my Acer 1600 series laptop that we use has the awful habit of overheating rapidly and breaking off brutally. How is it that this Pentium 4 based laptop (3 Mhz) is so CPU hungry (above 90%) for video sessions. My previous laptop was by far less powerful and not such a CPU hog ! Can I do anything to moderate CPU consumption in MSN sessions ? Thanks for your help - Claude.
