Access 2007 CPU always at 50%
I recently upgraded to Access 2007 from 2003. When I open the application
the CPU goes and stays at 50% (dual processor CPU) even when sitting and doing nothing on the title screen. Strangely, when I open the options dialog box the processor goes back to zero, but reverts to 50% when I close the options dialog box. Yes, I know it sounds silly, but any suggestions are welcome. -- Jay C. |

Access 2007 CPU always at 50%
is there a more concrete symptom/problem? is operationally slow?

Access 2007 CPU always at 50%
This strange behavior has been happening for at least a decade. A single
processor would often drive the cpu to 100%, but give up the cpu as soon as something else needed it. I've heard different things like it's just a false reading in the Task Manager to it's really driving the cpu that hard but it doesn't hurt anything. For my next computer I might get a quad-core. That way I'll only see 25%! ;-) -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two. Keith Bontrager - Bicycle Builder.

Access 2007 CPU always at 50%
Things aren't real slow, I can generally get things done, though I haven't
done anything yet that would require heavy processing. I did open an .accdb that had a missing VBA reference. The problem seemed to start after that. -- Jay C.

You're thinking of ACC: Microsoft Access Shows 100% CPU Utilization During Idle Time http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=160819 However that should've been fixed in A2000 and newer. I've never seen this problem since I stopped using A97. Tony -- Tony Toews, Microsoft Access MVP Please respond only in the newsgroups so that others can read the entire thread of messages.

What happens when you open an empty MDB? Is there some startup code which is running in a loop? Or maybe a timer event that mistakenly runs code every millisecond rather than every minute.

Access 2007 CPU always at 50%
When I open a blank mdb it still goes to 50%. I don't have any startup code
that I am aware of. I appreciate your replies. -- Jay C. "Tony Toews [MVP]" wrote: jtcolber wrote: I recently upgraded to Access 2007 from 2003.

Access 2007 CPU always at 50%
If you leave it longer, does it eventually drop? You get this
same behaviour with no mdb loaded? Access 2007 can take 5 minutes to fully check and complete it's installation process. It does the check everytime it starts, but I don't know that it should take that long to complete, unless it is a new installation, or you have been running A2000. Or you may be seeing some kind of behaviour from your anti-virus softwa can you turn that off and try again? Or it may be some strange Windows Vista behaviour: 'optimising' or something like that. Or it may be some strange network behaviour: is it the same if you disconnect from the network? (david) "jtcolber" wrote in message news I recently upgraded to Access 2007 from 2003.

Access 2007 CPU always at 50%
I am experiencing the same behavior with Access 2007 on a dual processor
machine Running XP SP2. It doesn't seem to matter if a database is open but idle, a blank database is open or even no database open. Is there a patch for this?
