Hello,
I don't know if I've got the right newsgroup or not, so
please advise which is the correct one if not this one.
Config is WinXP prof. sp 1, dual amd athlon 2200+, 1gb
mem, dual 10/100, 73GB scsi. Office 2000.
I boot clean every morning. On a fairly regular basis,
after the machine has been in use for maybe about an
hour, the system becomes very slow in responding to
dialog box opens & saves when using a network share,
programs almost seem to 'hang' and the task manager
shows 'not responding' yet if you wait what seems maybe
30-60 seconds, the program does evenaually respond. We
have a small office and there is virtually no traffic on
the network (verified with ethereal). Monitoring of cpu
and network usage via task manger shows both cpu's are
nominally loaded ~3%. Plenty of memory available.
I use pretty much two applications - one being office
2000 (word, excel) and a quote producing application
called quotewerks. Both are win2k applications that
never really exhibited this behavior before.
I recently changed to this dual system because this same
thing started happening on my laptop and so thinking I
had some sort of virus or had unknowingly downloaded
something that caused this problem, I decided to reload
this dual machine with fresh, virgin everything.
Now oddly enough, I just realized that the laptop is also
an AMD machine. Is there something with amd and xp that
could explain this bahavior? I noticed this after
updating applying the latest XP updates around 'sobig'
virus time. When I first got the laptop it didn't
exhibit this bahavior at all. The dual machine seemed to
exhibit it immediately b/c I suspect something in Service
Pack 1 I loaded, is perhaps the culprit. Anyone have any
idea on where to look? Oh, I did apply the recommended
changes from this

No change after applying suggested registry entries.
