Dashboard Client using 90% of CPU
Can anyone tell me why my Dashboard Client keeps using 90%+ of my CPU usage and as a result making my Mac heat up and the fan run?

Back up all data.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, move the following item to the Trash, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.dashboard.client
and move the following items to the Desktop:
- Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
- Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist
Log out, log back in, and test. If you still have the issue, put the items on the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the items and recreate your Dashboard settings.
