Console Trouble

I am currently experiencing the following problem with Houdini Apprentice: whenever i try to do anything, such as bring up a context-menu or even hover over an icon, the console comes up, repeating the same message until I manage to stop it:

NT_GeneratorThread::queueEvent event queue full. Event dropped.

Also, if I try to add a tab to a pane, it keeps doing it, even after I close the console, it pops up again and Houdini resiliently refuses to do anything.
Any ideas?

What graphics card and drivers are you using?

Intel Extreme Graphics 2
Intel 82865G Graphics Controller
and related drivers thereof.

However, everything displays as it should, so I don't think it's really a graphics problem.

The nature of the error warning leads me to believe it might be a CPU load problem. However, Houdini takes up 90% of my CPU power and it would only take up the rest if no other programs were running. So, unfortunately, I don't think there's much to be done in the CPU load area.

All feedback appreciated.

unfortunately just because it displays fine that doesn't need there aren't any problems.
Sometimes everything seems to display fine but houdini will still crash. That card sounds a little under powered in the opengl department so it could be related to that.
I would send the console report to sidefx support along with your system specs.
