Re: Windows Freezes for 15 seconds

Hi,

Run the edit on line 157: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Note: When this happens and if you are also without sound, themes change to
classic, etc. run the edit on line 371.

Either way, run this combo in the meantime and good luck!

Run Ad-Aware SE, Spybot, CWShredder and HijackThis:

Note: Update the first two programs, once installed, before running.

Added suggestions:

Windows XP Startup Programs Tracker

Belarc: For a detailed list of all installed software (that may be running
in the background causing this)and hardware:
http://www.belarc.com/Download.html

In the Software Versions section you'll see all of your installed software.
At the end of each entry is a clickable asterisk that will take you to the
folder the software is installed in.

Another is:

EVEREST Home Edition is a system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for
home PC users, the. It offers the world's most accurate system information
and diagnostics capabilities, including online features, memory benchmarks,
hardware monitoring, and low-level hardware information.
