XP periodically hangs for about 30 seconds.

[David F.]

Every since updating to SP3, XP periodically hangs throughout the day for
about 30 seconds then just continues. While its hanging you can move the
mouse and some GUI actions appear to work (button press/etc) but any
executing of a program / waiting for url to load / next screen to show up/
etc.. just hangs.

XP Pro SP3, 1G, Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.1.325

Open Task Manager to the Processes tab and park it in a corner of your
monitor. When your computer seems to hang, find out which process is
occupying the majority of your CPU's resources.

How much RAM memory?

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?
