When i play WoW (World of Warcraft) the game is able to be alt+tabbed out, but when i do this my computer is running it's processing capacity at 95%-100%, and i have no idea why. The game is not supposed to take up that much information. I tried finding a way to prevent this but to no avail. It's not another program i know because under Image Name it has WoW running at 80-99 CPU. But i can't figure out why. Any info on how to keep this game from hording all my memory would be nice.
