CPU Maxes Out

[Archived Post]

As soon as I launch the client, my CPU maxes out and stays at 90-100% as long as I run the client. Any recommendations? Other than installing XP instead.

Unfortunately this is pretty much how it goes. The game is very CPU intensive. I'd tell you to turn off Threaded Optimization in the Nvidia control panel, but since you have a Pent D CPU the option is probably not there.
