Has anyone of you ever program in C/C++ using the antique Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 (DOS program)? Have you ever run it on Windows XP SP1? I notice that whenever I use TC, my CPU utilisation goes 100% (via Task Manager) - even if I'm not doing anything. Is there any way to instruct the CPU not to go 100% while idle - maybe via the *.lnk/*.pif properties? It's really scary to see CPU goes 100% on idle, fan kicks in and notebook goes hot. :( Any clues?
