Okay.

So I was using ZSNES (It's an emulator. And for the record, I only play games on it that I own... I haven't broken any laws, nor do I advocate it.) the other day and my laptop overheated and shut down. I started up again and heard the fan running more than it should. I opened the task manager and realized that ZSNES was eating up whatever system resources that AIM wasn't taking (so that 100 percent of my system resources were being used). This has never happened before and I'm not sure why it happened now. I tried downloading the latest version... No good. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a setting I can change? Anything?
