XWin.exe uses 100% CPU when running windows installer

[John Farrelly]

I am having a problem on a Windows 2000 Pro machine where XWin.exe
uses 100% of the CPU continually when I run a program which uses the
windows installer. For example, I tried installing iTunes:  the iTunes
installation hung, and the CPU went up to 100%.  I had to shutdown
XWin, and then the iTunes installation continued.

I have seen this with some other program installations on Windows.

I use the command '%RUN% XWin -fullscreen -clipboard
-silent-dup-error' to start the server, and I use WindowMaker as my
WM, but it is the XWin.exe process which is spiking.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
John.
