BCM appears to take up half of CPU cycles
Chris Jones 5/2/2007 8:08:01 PM
I have BCM 2007 installed and upto yesterday it was working fine. Today,
though when I start Outlook, before Outlook completes loading, it appears to
go to sleep. When I look at the Task Manager, I see that Outlook is taking up
between 48% and 51% of the CPU. I have identified that it is BCM 2007 that is
doing this by restarting Outlook without the MSSMLBIZ SQL Server instance
running, when Outlook works fine.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? And how to stop BCM from hogging
the computer and allowing Outlook to work properly?

Responding to my own question - I have now fixed this. It appears that
Outlook was getting itself confused. I had two pst files open, one being an
Outlook2007 pst file and the other being Outlook2002. I have now migrated the
earlier version to Outlook2007 and this excessive cpu activity has now gone
away.

This should have been spotted during the beta testing phase for Office2007,
shouldn't it? Or is my "professional" testing experience too rigid for
Microsoft's amateur programmers?
