Try turning the Idle sensitivity setting for DOS programs all the way up or down.
Other than that, not much to do. Don'?t use an NT based OS if you code in DOS (NT based = XP)

The same happens in W2000. Changing the idle sensivity can reduce the cpu use to 50%, not more.
Use Qbasic 1.1, PDS 7.1 or VBDOS, these do not have that problem.
Or forget about the IDE an compile from command line, it's what I do

I have other problems with W2000 and QBasic 1.1. I guess mouse support doesn't work right in 2000. It opens up SELECT and activates on my QBasic IDE. So, compile from the DOS window like Antoni said. BC.EXE is available for download in many different places.

Or, do it the easy way.
Get DOS.

Or switch to a true Windows 32 compiler as Freebasic...

Here is a solution for you: (sorry for digging this thread out)

...and his tool:

This is a TSR patch for Windows 2000 and XP to decrease cpu utilization in a range of 50% to 90%. Please note, that you take the full risk by using it and not author ! This tiny tool may work with other dos programs as well, but it hasn't been tested yet for that purpose.
