Vista Pauses every few minutes

I just installed my free upgrade of Vista... A fresh and clean install since
trying to upgrade kept freezing up my computer ( I have the Dell E520 with
enough hard drive space, memory etc etc)... It's been 8 hours since I've
installed Vista and it constantly freezes for 30 seconds for whatever
reason.... Is there a fix?? this is getting pretty annoying... not a good
first impression. What can I do????

There are many tweaks etc you can do, but 8 hours is not very long. It is
probably still building the index and settling down. Give it a bit longer
and see how it goes.

If you clean installed then I assume you have carried no software from your
previous installation? If not then you may want to look at trimming some of
these too.

Thanks for the input. I will wait it out and see if it makes a difference. I
guess I didn't even take that into consideration before, but it makes sense.
And no I did not carry over anything from the previous installatioon of XP.
I'll keep ya posted as time goes by.
