She has not installed anything new on her system. She is using the same
antivirus that has been operational on the machine since she purchased it.

Is the Prefetch service running ? On my laptop I turn it off. Check what
program is using disk during this ghost time.

Hi Maniek,
Thanks for your input. I have checed via msconfig.exe and there is no
prefetch service listed. only superfetch. Is that the same thing?

Hi Fello Forum Members,
As previously listed I have the same problem. I have just concluded a call
with MS tech support here in Oz and found that the Computer Associates CA
AntiVirus software I am running may well have been the culprit. Apharently
an update to that software clashes with an update from MS. The tech support
people have "snoozed" CA to determin if this is the real problem.
Will let you know how I go over the next day or so if you want.
Good luck with your problems
Regards
RF
