Marc,
a little OT,
I was puzzled once by my dome capture PC happily chugging away
getting images, with almost no CPU overhead, to suddenly being bogged down
and stalling the capture with huge HD activity and CPU use.
The culprit, Google taskbar attempting to do it's thing in the background,
as you say, whether a browser was open or not.
The only way to restore things to normal without causing the capture
/tracking/planetarium software to crash...was to unplug the ethernet
plug to the internet...
I since, have uninstalled Google taskbar..
