Whenever I start the wallet it freezes and I get not responding. I've restarted and re installed. Same problem. Was working fine yesterday.
I've noted since a few days ago that my wallet freezes constantly and uses more cpu than before...
Unfortunately I can't even test the issue as I have no Windows. However, Bosian said that he did not note anything similar. Also, there is a post regarding freezes:
I am having a lot of trouble running the 1.4 wallet with minting. I am running windows 7 and if I unlock it for minting it goes to non responsive.... Any ideas?
having same trouble, mostly when another running wallet grabs the focus. try: task manager>processes tab>sort by name, right click [grain]>set priority>DO NOT USE REALTIME

usually works for me, the realtime setting freezez my comp.
