    Hi, for some reason my computer is performing horribly, I tried going to fox on demand ( something I use to be able to do easily and with fluid motion) and now my cpu usage is at over 80% something that NEVER happened before. Any ideas what could have caused this change?

    Make sure you didn't accidentally activate Stealth mode.
