Groove 2007 Using a constant 50% of CPU

[Deepak]

I upgraded about a week ago, what a PITA that was to upgrade 3 computers
running the same account! After I got everything working and sync'ing
properly, a few days later one of my computers starting slowing down, I took
a look at task manager and Groove was eating 50% CPU. I tried every trick I
knew, kill Groove, run GrooveClean, reboot, nothing worked. Everytime I
start Groove it immediatley eats up 50% of the CPU, and its a constant 50%(+
or - 1%). Anybody have any ideas?

So after a few hours of sitting at 50%, I changed the priority of Groove.exe
to HIGH and left it to run overnight. When I came into work this morning, it
seemed to have worked itself out and it was running normally...weird.

I have a similar problem with Groove 3.1 on an XP Pro SP2 machine. I will
try your fix to see if it helps. Thanks for the post.

Same here. Windows Vista, clean install + Office 2007. Groove eats
over 90% CPU for days in a row (I left it on to see if it would ever
finish...) I am really dissapointed in that micrsoft dumps something
like this on the market.. It is obiously not finished yet. the process
jumps up to 1.4 Gigs of RAM. For WHAT? I only have less than 10 files
to sync??

My solution (that worked) was uninstalling groove and totally remove
it from my system. What a crappy software this is! Now my system runs
just fine. A Microsoft employee suggested I had installed 'bad'
software. And right he was! My system only has windows vista and
office 2007 installed. When I asked him wich of the two was the bad
app, he could not reply. I told him the bad app is Office since Vista
is not an app. but an OS.

Of course I tried deleting all groove workplaces and run grooveclean
but it jumps to 90% CPU immediately after booting so there was nothing
I could do. Microsoft Groove 2007 is most likely to become (yet
another) vapor-ware application. My 30 € sync toy does a better jobat
this!

Has anyone found a solution to this? We are seeing it on almost all of our
machines. Uninstalling/reinstalling does not seem to help.

I've encountered this problem on Groove 3.1 and have followed suggestions
found here and on other post concerning this same issue. Nothing has worked.

In fact I'm to the point of much fustration in that I can't get up with the
work that's being done by others in our Groove group of about 30 people.

Can Microsoft do something about this?

MY problem has been resolved. Here's the suggestion that worked for my issue.

"I think you will be able to fix this problem. Simply open your Cingular
Communication Manager software and look for the Acceleration settings. If
the Proxy is enabled, please disable it. There should be an Uninstall button
next to the Proxy. Uninstalling this proxy should fix the problem you are
having."
