    Hi,

    when i have open Capture and work in excel at the same time Excel stop working.

    If I close Polar, Excel comes alive and works fine.
    If i open polar it goes OK for a couple of minute's and then the same issue
    Strange bug but now you know it.
    Regards

    (the new smoke function is very nice and a welcome addition to polar!)

    Hi Koen,

    Capture will use as much horsepower as you have available in your machine to achieve a good framerate. The new smoke effect is somewhat more demanding as it forces Capture to update the screen constantly, regardless of whether beams have changed or not. I believe this is what is draining resources from Excel.

    Now, Capture only uses "Normal", "Below Normal" and "Idle" priorities in the system, so it shouldn't be stealing from any other application. However, if Excel uses lower-than normal priorities, it might be blocked by the OS. You could try increasing the priority of Excel in the task manager or lowering the priority of Capture and see if that makes a difference? We could make this an option in Capture if it is useful.
