Hello fellas...
I'm in need of some assistance. I had this case running with Microsoft, and they
couldn't give me an answer I could use.
Here's the case: A couple of months ago, I thought it would be a good idea to reboot
my system as my computer was starting to run a bit slow. I've done this many times
before, and never experienced any seriously problems, but this time was different.
At the beginnig everything was fine, and I installed all my drivers for my hardware,
like always. I started updating windows, which was no problem until I installed "service
pack 2". After the reboot, my computer started to pause for 2-3 seconds every minute
or so. I tried to re-install windows, 'cause maybe I've made a mistake in the installation
phase. But everytime I installed "service pack 2" it began to do this pause thing.
I then tried to contact Microsoft, who wanted to start a case. But all they ever
figured out was that I should try to unplug my hardware, start over and plug in my
hardware one by one and intall the drivers. I tried that, but before I plugged in
any hardware I tried to install "service pack 2". No change at all. Still doing that
pause thing. So I've been running windows with no updates until now, but it's a problem,
as many programs can't be intalled unless I have "service pack 2" installed.
I hope that someone can give me some hints.
