something keeps accessing the pc ??

[Guest]

Have a pc with w2k,, about every 5 seconds the screen flickers. When I open
the task manager, whenever it flickers, the CPU useage for explorer jumps to
about 20%.

Is explorer causing the flicker or is the CPU usage jumping up because
something else made the flicker ??

Google for a free utility called "A really small app" and see if you
can catch whatever's sneaking up on you.

check which process is using CPU time...
open up a search window and start typing process names from taskmgr,
find out what directories they are located...avoid typing the standard
windows processes
are you running active desktop?

It shows that explorer jumps the CPU up to about 20 - 23 %, then back
to 0%
