Hi,

Im running Win2K Pro.
My PC specs are as follows:
AMD ATHLON(TBIRD) @ 900MHZ
20GB HDD
512MB RAM (PC133)
M810 Series PCCHIPS Motherboard
Now, my problem is, sometimes when using any application (mostly happens with IE 6.0), it has the tendecy of pausing for aprox. 1 second...why does it do this??, this is basically all it does....but its really annoying...
pls help,

Thanks,

Eric

Hi. First off, I am experiencing the same problem that you are. I am also having this problem when I double click the My Documents folder on the desktop. I have noticed that since I downloaded Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000 things seem to have improved a little. You may also want to check the amount of things open in your system tray. Check your available system resources too, there really should be about 80% free with the system you are running. I would start out with Downloading service pack2 from Microsoft. (www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com). Hope this helps.
