Hi,

i have a "little" problem with my pc performance, when i use litestep..

Whether which theme i take, after a little while, the working on the pc is very lame. But the CPU Usage is at 3% or fewer..

I've got an AMD 2200+ and 512 DDR ram. I dont think that this system is to lame for litestep^^

Do you use any transparency modules?

is there any in the default theme? austerity is its name..

Is it normal that litestep is so admn slow?

Not at all. Try switching to a different theme. If that doesn't help, try running litestep.exe with no theme at all. Try closing programs that run in the background. Post back here with the results.

Take a look at your lsxcommand_history.ini (in $personaldir$) and clear all the lines. Sometimes (often) lsxcommand put lot of me** in it.
The little history: I've searched for a long while why litestep used to take half a minute to recycle... The lsxcommand_history.ini file was 4.3Mb !!!

ok.. thx for your help.. i try it..

Do you use a Rainmeter module?

jo.. it is used in the theme..

rainmeter doesn't use so much resources (as you can think) but you have to update perfmon.dll if you're using it

and how cn i do this? where can i get it?

look at the news:
