Kris, how did you arrive at that set of files? It didn't work for me running on 16.0. I don't get the CPU pegging, now, and I see cdsMsgServer/NameServer running with a single instance, finally, but Capture still doesn't execute; just hangs for about a minute and then gets killed off as...
Here's another clue. When I rename cdsName/MsgServer.exe to .old, and I try to start up Capture again, I don't see cdsName/MsgServer.exe in the task list any more. But what I do see is the Antivirus software pegging the CPU, still. I saw this with Norton, BitDefender, and AVG.
And when I turn...
That's very interesting, Kris. I wasn't able to reproduce that behavior. When I rename the two files to ".old", they stop spawing and CPU usage goes back down but Capture still won't run, and it crashes even sooner.
If you look quickly with Task Manager, or of you try Process Explorer that...
Score, Brad!
Turns out something involved with the OrCAD Capture startup process is spawning a never-ending stream of cdsNameServer and cdsMsgServer processes. I guess this tweaks the antivirus and other processes that manage services, and ends up pegging the CPU time. I can only guess that...
Thanks, Brad. I'll check out SysInternals Process Explorer. I need to see in finer grain what's going on.
This is not a functional use of too much memory or any other resources. It's something pathological. OrCad Capture ran just fine on XP with 1/4 the memory and 1/10 the processor power...
I recently migrated from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Initially in Windows 10, Capture took a long time to load but then worked OK.
Now it always hangs on load and crashes after about 3 minutes.
CPU starts at 5-20% and quickly pegs to 100%
- Antivirus Software high CPU usage
- Service Host: Local...
