CPU Pegged - by "m5authd.exe"

Submitted by Stephen Sullivan on August 2, 2007 - 7:07pm.

m5authd.exe is pegging my CPU after reboots, I have to end the task after my pc finally comes up.

I had to uninstall M5 last week, and figured I would give it another shot today and it does the same thing. 99% CPU Usage.

Somebody help me, I love moka5 and don't want to have to uninstall it and not use it.
