I have had numerous cpu usage issues with e-signal over the past few months and I know that it is not my computer or video card which are more than ample for building charts and quote boards etc. THIS MIGHT BE OLD NEWS BUT IT WORKED FOR ME PERFECTLY. downgrade to version 8.0 r1 and the link is below .. my cpu dropped all the way back to 13 again! YEAH!! Go to e-signal.com click on download then run..then it will ask to repair or remove.. use remove! (YOU WILL NOT LOSE YOUR LAYOUTS OR PAGES) however, YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-ENTER YOUR PASSWORD AND USER NAME ON DATA MANAGER AND ON E-SIGNAL.. CLICK FILE PROPERTIES AND CONNECTIONS.. PUT NEW PASSWORD IN AND NOW YOU ARE TRADIGN AGAIN! http://esignal.com/executables/esignal_80r1.exe Good Luck
