Hi
I have a little problem. I use iTunes to play my music and have recently been using G-Force Platinum. When I start G-Force, within 1minute the music begins to stutter. When I exit G-Force, the stutter disappears.
Does anyone have any suggestions on anything I might try to eliminate this?
Thanks

C'mon folks - does no one have any suggestions I might try?
My computer is a Dell Optiplex GX270 running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have a Soundblaster Live! 24bit card, a Radeon 9600XT 256MB graphics card, a P4 2.8 CPU and 1.5GB RAM.
I get the stutter no matter which resolution I use. Today I have been trying 640x480 and the stutter only persists whilst G-Force Platinum is running.
Interestingly, I do not get any stutter when just the V-Bar is being used at its smallest setting. But, as soon as I maximise iTunes, then run G-Force in full screen mode, the stutter will occur. The stutter occurs if the G-Force Toolbar is open or closed.
I really would appreciate some help with this.
Edit:
I am presently running iTunes and G-Force Standalone and am not experiencing any stutter at all. Although I can maximise the Standalone window - it is not the same as full screen
Is there a command I can run which will run the Standalone in fullscreen?
Thanks in advance.
Edit2:
I have just upgraded my copy of G-Force Platinum from 3.0 to 3.1 and have been using iTunes for the last half-hour with the G-Force plug-in running in fullscreen mode and have not heard a single stutter.
Good things come to those who wait. *thumbs up*

I have truly sorted this problem out.
It had nothing to do with the the version of G-Force+iTunes I was using. I had been using a system monitoring utility suite, and it had been consuming so many system resources that it was affecting the running of my system. I recently uninstalled this suite and noticed a vast improvement in overall system performance. So I fired up iTunes and have been running G-Force with it on a high resolution with no performance impact whatsoever.
Who would have thought that utilities designed to protect my computer from data loss, virus/spyware infection and intruder attempts would have impacted the performance to such an extent that they would adversely affect the way other programs run.
