I don't know if it's connected with your problem, but there IS a very serious bug in the XX Fonts Gallery: after having it open for a little while and scrolling up and down, XX's CPU usage shoots to 100%! A very bad bug, which can certainly heat up your 'puter royally, so be careful about using the Fonts Gallery at least.
This is one of those bad bugs we need an XX update for! But there's no hope of that, it seems . . .

Klaus,
I never noticed that before but come to think of it... the fans on my machine do get notably louder as they speed up to compensate. It happens in about 10 mins if I leave the font gallery open.
It only consumes 24% on my machine but that's equivalent to one Hyperthreaded CPU going to 100%
I always wondered whilst drawing away in Xara why the ambient noise seemed to increase!

Yep, Graeme, XX can be a loud beast! But it's only the Fonts Gallery which has this problem now, I think. On the old CorelXara, the Color Editor sucked 100%! A much worse problem.
I've also discovered that ZBrush 1.55 has this 100% ALL-the-time problem - and I have refused to review the app in my www.graphics.com column until they fix it. I'm not gonna fry my already-hot CPU because of bad programming.
