What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Opening Firefox, Mail and other programs
2. Opening new message in Mail
3. Trying to do routine tasks (I know that is nebulous sounding)
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I keep getting the spinning color wheel and in activity monitor the process
"windowserver" has pegged out.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Darn, forgot to look at the original version, I just uninstalled and downloaded
the latest and re-installed ElectricSheep. Mac 10.8.2
Please provide any additional information below.
I have been having the spinning color wheel problem for a few months and I
cannot absolutely pin it to ElectricSheep. Today, finally, I had enough and
searched on "mac windowserver" and then read the result for those that
addressed the pegging of the cpu. There were a couple of common threads - Flash
player and "complicated" screen savers. I followed the Mac forum instructions,
uninstalled Flash player, then downloaded and installed from the Adobe web
site. Alas, that didn't fix the problem. So then, thinking of the screensaver
I uninstalled Sheep and then downloaded/installed from your site. I have just
completed that process so I don't know yet if there is any difference. I
wanted to send in the issue to see if it struck a bell with anyone or if you
have heard of anything like this (I searched the forums with no results). I
truly enjoy ElectricSheep and have no desire to uninstall permanently.
