everytime i install win2k on my labtop it pauses for about a half second every 5 seconds or so and its really annoying

i have been unable to track down what is causing this
and ive been looking for some while

i also notice win2k does this on other full desktop machines aswell and i cant find the commonality

I think there is a "Power Saving" option you can disable.I'm not sure where but I usually 3 finger salute
and kill it in the task mngr.
