Not quite sure if it's a W2K problem, but here goes. I have W2K Pro SP4,
Office XP SP1, IE6 SP1. My day to day running has Outlook for mail and IE
on all the time and, most of the time, OE for newsgroups. Every now and
then - no particular time pattern/schedule - these 3 apps just halt i.e. no
mouse or keyboard response and if you switch between these apps the graphics
goes 'blank' on these 3 apps. This lasts for anything between 10 - 20
seconds and can cycle between 1 - 4 hours at a time. Any other apps running
along side are unaffected and I can go to 'Task Manager' and minimise to
Desktop quite happily. There's plenty of RAM left. It's just the 3 Apps
that the problem appears to be occuring on. The OS was recently cleanly
reinstalled and still the problem persists. Any users here or within the
other groups experienced such a problem and know of a cure or can pinpoint
to the culprit?
