Yes, actually it does. I've also noticed that my keyboard (MS Natural
Elite) numlock light goes out and comes back usually when this happens. I
took out the USB 2.0 hub (Kensington USB 2.0 Pocket Hub) and hooked up my
mouse (MS Wireless Optical Blue) and keyboard direct thinking it might have
something to do with the hub. The stuttering continues however. Any clues?
