Hmm?I don?t know why but it started ever since I networked my two computers together. It?s a pausing action which it irritating the sh*t out of me. It happening while using ANY program, Word2000, surfing the web, and while playing games. What happens it my mouse will just stop moving for about 3 seconds or so, in games the screen will pause while rapidly repeating a sound.

What could be causing this? I would really hate to reformat at this point (well, I?m do for one, it?s been six months, but it?s been running so will I?ve opted not to reformat).

Again, this only started right after I networked my two comps together. So weird.

Disable any protocols you aren't using, and try changing the slot/irq for your nic, it may be on an IRQ that gives it high priority.
