Download adaware and run it. It could be something like Gator, which is trying to read everything under your mouse to see if it should popup an ad.
http://www.lavasoft.de The video won't be interrupted by such things since it runs as the highest priority process on Windows machines. Everything else can be degraded. If adaware doesn't fix it, try downloading a new video driver set and installing it. Lastly, make sure no one is accessing large directory listings (either local or remotely), since this can completely bog down a machine. Just some thoughts Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/25/03 01:37PM >>> Hey all. I've been having a problem with my computer. A Del 8200...P4 1.8Ghz, 512MB of RAM. It constantly..stutters. What I mean is...if you are moving the mouse cursor really quickly, you will notice it pausing every few seconds....all the time. If I am playing .mp3 files..they would skip or stutter. If I am playing games..the graphics freeze every other second or so..for a veeeery short but noticeable space of time. Noticeable because the motion of say a ship landing, is not smooth. I don't seem to have a problem playing video however. I've clean booted, turning off all non-microsoft services. I've even gone through and turned off some microsoft services. I've checked for spyware using AdAware Professional. I have Defragged and run Scandisk on the hard drive. I can't find anything wrong! My CPU usage is at a constant 10% with System taking up 6% and Explorer taking up ~3%. I just can't figure out what the hell is happening!! And I can't pinpoint exactly when all this started happening *sigh*. I've even removed McAfee from the system thinking that might be it. Any suggestions? -Gel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
