Messenger hangs (processor maxing out at 98%)

Hi,
Here is the deal. I will try and give as much info as I can.

Windows XP Pro
Messenger 4.7 for Exchange

It seems that whenever I want to use audio on my system, like playing an MP3
or video in RealPlayer, all of the sudden Messenger goes hog wild and kicks
its processor usage up to around the 95%+ range, which in return obviously
dramatically slows my machine down to the point of having to force quit
Messenger.

Today, I hook up a Logitec Quick Cam Express and tried to startup a new
Video Conversation and BAM once again the processor goes nuts. It kicked off
when I was at the point of testing the connections.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to prevent this from happening? I need
to get video conversations working as part of my job and this is greatly
hindering this.

Thanks,
Justin
 
Figured it out. For all that have a similar issue, you might want to check
to see if you have multiple audio drivers installed. I had an audio driver
installed for TotalRecorder and this was causing my issue even though it
wasn't even active. So beware.
