'hiccupping'
i'm not sure what to call this...but 'hiccupping' fits the descriping of my problem, in my view. in the past few days my computer has started to 'hiccup.' what i mean by that is every few seconds, from just a couple to a half a minute, my computer gets really slow for just a second or two--hence the name hiccups. it's really throwing things off too. i makes all my mp3's skip or distort when i play them...it's also affecting my clock in windows. right now it's 9:40...and windows says its 9:18...and this is after i have adjusted the clock many times!! plus, it just slows EVERYTHING down!! i don't know what it could be...i had an ati tv tuner card installed a few days ago, but if i remember correctly the 'hiccups' started at least two days after the card was installed, but i'm not ruling it out as the cause of my problem. i've installed a few games/demos and that's about it. i'm not sure what's going on and i really need some help!!! oh, i have a p2 450 and i'm running win98. any advice would be really appreciated!!!!
thanks,

srmifer: You may want to try eliminating programs starting up in the background that could be causing problems. Go to START | RUN, and in the Open box type "MSCONFIG" and click OK. Click the Startup tab, and remove the checks to nonessential programs, or programs that you do not use normally. Click OK, and restart when prompted. You can continue removing items (except for ScanRegistry, LoadPowerProfile, and SystemTray) until the problem clears up.
