Time to isolate things in order to get a handle on what's happening:

- Right-click on the taskbar, choose Task Manager
- In Task Manager, click on the Processes tab.
- In the Processes tab, click on the User Name panel to easily see the
processes that are active in the current user's profile.
- Highlight a process with the current user's name in the User Name
column and click on the End Process button on the lower right.
This will de-activate that background process, freeing up resources.

The only process you should not end is explorer.exe. Anything else running in the current user's name can be ended and rebooting Windows will bring it back.

After doing the above, start up your pgmusic program and go about the usual that you do with it and JAWS.

If the CPU usage problem does not occur over a few days time, we will then have to talk about how to go about isolating which of the background programs may be the culprit here.
