Explorer.exe CPU Usage

When I do certain tasks like "show desktop", use Windows Media player 11, or
open up IE7 my computer will hang for 10-20seconds and will show Explorer.exe
using as much of my CPU as possible, ensuring my total CPU usage is at 100%.

It does this quite frequently, I was wondering if anybody had a similar
experience and found a solution, or if there are any suggestions.

My System is as follows

Vista Beta 2
AMD 3700+
Nvidia 7800 GT
2 Gigs of Ram
300GB Harddrive

Thank you.

Does disabling Aero affect? it sounds like graphical issue and how display
adapter handles requests.

Did you ever install any antivirus or other "uitility" software? I had a
similar issue when I had installed CA antivirus trial... Once I got rid of
that all went back to normal.

I have this same problem and I use CA anti-virus. What other anti-virus are
people using?

Jason you rock! I got rid of CA's anti-virus and all is good. I am using
PCillian's beta and it's working flawless.
