SETI messing up my computer

Ok here are the symptoms, when SETI is running my other programs will stop responding temporarily which can cause disconnects from AIM service up to annoying lags on website dls (i'm on a Cable line). I haven't had these problems with SETI up until I installed BF1942. Ever since it's been messing up. I've recently upgraded my 1.5 to a 2.4 which i'm running at 2.66 but there's been no hiccups with normal operation. It's kinda funny cause sometimes it will happen and other times it won't. I can't seem to figure it out, the priority setting is low but it seems as though SETI is overriding for a few seconds extra, is there a new seti driver or client out that could cause this? I remeber I upgraded SETI driver recently but can't find the old version, any help is greatly appreciated.

Hmmmm, that is weird :eek:

When the "lag" happens, do you notice any other programs getting higher CPU usage in Task Manager? There might be another program that is doing something like that and slowing down the computer.

Another thing you may wish to try is to delete all of your Seti directory, and start fresh over again. Sometimes this is actually quicker than trying to troubleshoot a problem, especially if the problem stops.

The latest SetoDriver is 1.6.3.6, and the CLI is version 3.03

i'm not too sure why you are having problems, so here's a bump for you :)

I run the CLI version of SETI via a service 24/7 and I've got BF1942 installed. I don't use AIM or any other chat program but I've had no problems with SETI and BF1942. My setup:

Asus P4B266
Intel P4 1.6a @ 2.2Ghz
512MB PC2100 DDR
WinXP Pro (SP1)
Gainward GF4 4200 (not sure on driver version)
SB Audigy (not sure on driver version)
