Hi guys,
Don't know if this has been covered, as I can't find anything through a search.
Anyhow, whenever I either a) open a new application, b) minimize an application, so that the desktop is showing, or c) have particular applications running (escpecially Azureus), my PC will freeze for a split second, every second. This only happens for about 1 minute, then things seem to return to normal. It is most noticable when I am moving the mouse around the screen, or if I am playing an mp3.
When I open a new application, this freezing gets worse, until the application fully loads.
I am running Windows XP on a 1.30 gigahertz Intel Celeron, 256 MB RAM, and a 20 GB HD with 5 GB available.
I could be wrong, but it either started to happen, or got worse when I reformatted my hard drive about a month ago. I can't quite remember it occuring or being this bad before then.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
