So after months of forgetting and never thinking about it when I am at my computer, I finally remembered to subscribe to Brad Abrams’ blog today. I was reading his recent post mentioning Silverlight hosting, when I ran into an increasingly familiar problem I am having on my computer. I clicked on the link to the Silverlight Streaming site and my browser pegged out the processor and my computer was unusable for a few minutes while I tried to get a Task Manager window into view to kill the process.
I have Silverlight 1.1.20816.0 installed, and it only seems to happen when I use IE. I haven’t noticed this with Firefox although I haven’t tried that as much, and I have only noticed it on sites using Silverlight. I’m on Win XP SP2 with IE7. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any thoughts on what I should do to fix this?
Please contact me here or leave a comment if so.

I had the exact same issue and just ended up uninstalling it. Disappointing to see that it wasn’t just me.

I’m actually glad to know it wasn’t just me.
Means most likely I didn’t do something stupid without realizing it…

This is sweet. I wonder how many people without laptops will bring in their desktops; I know I would.
