Hi David My question was not that it runs on XP, I was asking if you are running some other software on your Win7 machine that might occasionally hit up the system resources to the point where the system stutters.
Backup programs can do this. Applications that look for newer versions when they load can cause a network hit. Lots of stuff. Java and Flash are notorious for causing memory and timing problems.
