When I type a letter in ms word or any application or close a program
windows seems to pause. If I type fast also it freezes up & then catches up
Also when I open a program when I first boot up I see it opening but a
outlined box then the rest cached up also & don't know what causes this? I
have Ms office 2003 & someone told to me to delete the setup files & no
good. I also have Norton Virus 2004 & Internet Security 2003 also I disabled
them & still does it. Have 1 gig of ram & 160 gig hd & Also I tried this on
a 60 gig HD same results & all have plenty of space & also scanned for
viruses & spyware using SpySweeper & PestPatrol & nothing. I don't see any
errors in Event Viewer in Admin tools. I using on this MSI KT3 Ultra2 With
VIA 333 chipset & using via 4 in one 449v & also tried the 451off
www.viaarena.com same thing though when I check it on msi's liveupdate says
I still using 449 not 451 but there is no difference anyways. Other hardware
is Gforce 4 MX 440 Video
Card with drivers 5216 latest. SB Audigy with latest drivers also. Anything
else that could cause this though I seen other have similar problems? I
disabled the indexing service & no difference. I do have all patches on
using XP Pro with sp1 & all new patches? can it me the net framework 1.1? I
took it out nothing but read issues on it.

Please Help!
 
Try the following site to get a tweaked nVidia driver for
your card: http://www.omegacorner.com/index_nvidia.html

Also, in Task Manager, see what is going on when you open
any particular program that is causing the slowdown.
You may have too many things trying to operate at the
same time, though it doesn't exactly sound like you
should have a problem.

You may want to check your RAM for a damaged chip.
