    Hey guys,

    I recently installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my laptop to find that my screen freezes for a split second every 2 seconds. I noticed this didnt happen on the log in screen so I started hunting down services (disabling them in msconfig, until the screen freezes didnt happen) the culprit, Windows Event Log.

    I quickly reboot to factory default, Windows Event Log is enabled - except no screen freezing,
    I find another copy of home premium install that - screen freezing is back
    I install XP - no screen freezing

    I'm a little stuck right now in terms of my next direction - this is a little out of my league so any help would be grateful on solving this problem.

    Smithy.

    If I also end the Task Scheduler Process - this problem stops.

    Is there nobody with an idea at all?
