Streamate encoder techie help, anyone?

[emmaatkins]

I've spent at least 6 hours trying to get Streamate to function properly. I configured the encoder correctly, and ended up listed as HD. But, my cpu usage went all the way to 100%. It's for sure not my web connection. My isp rocks, and I never have problems on MFC. Even when I got it to stop dropping frames, the feed on my side looked choppy. My cpu usage never went under 80. My computer's only a little over a year old, and I never have problems. I even tried it on my husband's computer. It was fine until I installed the logitech software. Anyone have quick fix ideas? Is there a better camera to use on Streamate? Is it just a ram issue? I usually don't put much effort into fixing tech fails. So all this trying with no gratification is bumming me out. :shifty:

How much RAM do you have? What size is your processor?

I had a similar problem with my old laptop. It worked great and then one day I couldn't use the encoder anymore. I was hoping that one of the RAM sticks had gone bad, because that is pretty easy to replace. It turned out that I was only running on 2 GB of RAM because one of the memory slots crapped out. I bought a new laptop rather than trying to replace the motherboard.
