Scratch is using up all my CPU memory.

Scratch uses up all of my CPU memory, causing a text-disappearing bug.
Can someone help?

Windows 7 Professional
Open Windows: Firefox, Explorer and Scratch.
Disk Memory: 107~ GB (approx)

I had to close Scratch with my Windows Task Manager.

I'm guessing it's not RAM. Most RAM is about 1-8gb, isn't it?

Let me check.
Hard Drive Memory: 107 free GB of 133 GB.

EDIT: How to get RAM memory?

Re: Scratch is using up all my CPU memory.

Okay... But right now Scratch is not running. so they may be inaccurate.
Usual CPU usage has just suddenly got as low as 10%.
Scratch was opened for a minute, it reached 45% before returning to normal levels.

But for a certain amount of time, it was 100%. Most of this time was when Scratch was open.

EDIT: And memory on "Performance" says 900s of MB.

Re: Scratch is using up all my CPU memory.

Try closing some windows, and see how it acts then.
