[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1830086, member: 204485"] God, when did Apple start adopting the "Nuke and Pave" solution for relatively simple problems. Patrick might be on the money with a conversion program. I know converting .wmv files on my MBP with Smart Converter Pro uses up about 80% of my CPU but I don't try to do anything else while its running I just let it do its job, usually during dinner or o/night. I suppose you have tried shutting down and restarting? You can also Force Quit apps from the Apple Menu especially if they have stopped responding. You can also force quit processes from the Activity Monitor by double clicking on the process and selecting quit. You cant cause a problem doing this because if its required it will just start up again but the Kernel task seems a bit odd to me. Addit; I just noticed you said Apple had talked you through a few reboot methods so I assume you have shut down and switched back on at least once. [/QUOTE]
