The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia Deluxe 2002, version 1.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

While you load a 3D Virtual Tour in either of the Microsoft Encarta programs
listed at the beginning of this article, your computer's CPU-usage level is
indicated to be at 100 percent. If you shift focus to another part of Encarta
during this loading process, the CPU-usage level remains at 100 percent.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This behavior is by design. The process of loading 3D Virtual Tours requires 100
percent of your computer's available CPU resources. Normal CPU resources return
as soon as the tour is finished loading.
