Hi,

Thanks for the response.  I don't have an antivirus installed yet, so that's not 
quite the same problem... When I first installed Vista, I did a clean install so 
it kept XP on my computer, too (with a host of games and other large programs).  
At first I thought the problem was a lack of available hard drive space, so I wiped 
the hard drive and did a fresh install of XP, ran all the XP updates, then did a 
simple XP to Vista upgrade.  Nothing's on the computer except Vista now, but the 
hard drive continues to pause the computer every second.  Working on the computer 
is like watching a movie while pausing it and starting it again every second.

Maybe it's just as simple as playing around with some settings... Anyone else run 
into this problem?  

Thanks!  I love these forums; always helpful people here.

-Ryan
