Win2k freeze

Used to run games fine in win2k, until recently, there would be freezes up to 10 seconds long and then the game would continue working ok. They seemed to be a few minutes apart. The computer has been tested with other operating systems and works perfectly.

Used to have similar hiccups. Then I doubled my memory 128>256. No more hiccups
 
Also try disabling some of the services. Check out the guides at 3dspotlight.com

OP
Thanks for all the replys. The only thing that freezes is the screen, the whole game keeps running, as in sound and control inputs. I was running all games as administrator so maybe that has an effect.

I had a similar problem in some games. The problem went away when I disabled EAX. Hope this helps.
