| 257246 | 2004-08-01 13:14:00 | Guys and Gals I have a wee problem - my PC (2.8HGz, 512Mb, XP Pro SP1) seems to pause occassionally, especially after using Outlook and downloading email (Xtra). When it pauses the internet connection indicator in the taskbar doesn't change, even though the modem disconnects but nothing else will run. Clicking on anything gets a brief hour glass then nothing, in this state not even the control+alt+delete will bring anything up. Sometimes the pause lasts a few minutes then the PC suddenly wakes up and does all the things you've clicked on whilst in pause mode. Any ideas gratefully accepted, thanks. |
