Thanks for the replies .

Mine is much worse. Just having Xara open, but no documents loaded and taking no action constantly uses 10% of my cpu usage.
Loading further documents but again not working on them ups the cpu usage to over 20%.

I just fail to understand why Xara is accessing my cpu during these periods of total inactivity ???

Video attached. No Audio. Having big issues with my sound card (Hooray came the response)
