Why is it that Rybka 2.3.2a 32-bit causes other programs to stop responding on my computer? I use an Intel Celeron CPU 2.80GHz, 504 MB of R.A.M.
I set the search depth to 10 and  a hashtable of size 150 MB. After Rybka 2.3.2a 32-bit reaches a search depth of 10, it makes its move, but continues  beyond the search depth of 10 even after making its move. I realize that when it continues beyond the set search depth, other programs begin to stop responding. Also, the CPU usage goes up to 100% when its in use. I use Fritz 11 too, but I don't have this problem with it.

I think that you need to set ponder off if you want rybka to search to fixed depth.

How do I get Rybka to stop pondering?

I do not know if this works with Fritz11 but with Fritz8 I simply
click on the engine window ,see engines parameters and uncheck permanent brain.

maybe you can try the cpu usage parameter, set it to 99,98,97,... until it gets better.

Thanks!
I set the CPU usage to 50, the other programs have started to run without any problems.

But you're severely weakening the engine, I think 95 should be ok.

Many applications, like word processors, email program etc., cause very small cpu load, only. Maybe 1%...3%. They don't need 50%. Something which does cause cpu load though, is video, or anything else where the cpu constantly has to do something. But if you enter a text, the cpu is idle most of the time.
