I have updated a couple of my A/V programs recently. In the past, I've been able to run the game with other programs (such as a web browser and e-mail program) open in the background.
I do turn off a couple of things that don't need to be running all the time and uninstalled an Apple application aimed at mobile devices (since I don't have any). I did try turning off my A/V program last night to see if that made a difference. It didn't.
Task Manager shows the CPU to be running at 100% when this happens, but that's pretty much standard for DA:O. There are reports and questions about that all over the forums.
