System stutter

[Michael]

BTW:
on my system the sidebar has slide show running, it is replacing the picture
every 15 seconds (default.)
Realize you get spikes even in diagnostic mode (should prevent sidebar).
Could there be any other item that is 'refreshing' a picture such as a
screensaver that is partialy running or some 'live' web item on your desktop
(stock ticker,RSS feed program etc).

Another thing to try would be to create a new user and see if that new user
still has the spike. If it did not then it is in your user configuration
rather than in the 'system' configuration.

Michael (lots of useless - so far- ideas, sorry)

I have a problem. At exactly every 15 seconds I have a stutter on the system.
When working with programs such as word processing or browsers it is not
noticeable, but when using a program that has some sort of sound playback its
extremely annoying. The sound stutters for about a half second. I have the
latest audio and video drivers. I don't really know what to do. Has somebody
else experienced this?

If you have a Sigma Tel audio adapter, as a workaround until Sigma Tel updates
their drivers, right click on the Speaker icon in the Notification Area of the
Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Highlight Speakers and press the Properties
button. On the Enhancements tab, check the Disable All Audio Enhancements check
box, Apply. OK.
