Ok, lately I've been experiencing a strange phenomenon when my screensaver kicks in, or rather, when it's been running and when I bring it out of screensaver mode.
First, when the SS is running (even on low-powered ones like Beziers, Starfield, and Marquee) the speed is literally a snail's pace - like there's something using up ALL the RAM and slowing down the screensaver.
Second, when I move the mouse to wake it back up, everything (including the ss) moves very slowly until the ss is completely shut down.
The strange part is that if I unplug my wireless USB modem (Linksys WUSB11 v2.6), everything runs fast as lightning like it should [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
The only other time I've experienced this sort of thing on this computer is when I'm transferring files to and from my laptop via the wireless home network I've got setup, but the laptop's not connected - it's still in the bag in the corner.
So, I'm assuming I've got something in my system that's either transferring files when the ss kicks in, or something else is seriously wrong.
Anyone know of anything that scans all your ports and stuff? Usually I keep IE and OE open, but OE is not set to automatically check mail. I've had to disable ZoneAlarm because there's something about the new version that doesn't let me connect to the JCF all the time, and you should see how many cgi gif bugs are in one Ebay page [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
It looks like an invasion [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
P4 2.8GHz, 512 RAM, 460 GB of disc space over 4 drives, so I know it's not the computer [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
