    I have just installed XP and it works pretty smooth.
    Just installed the ATK Hotkey and ATK OSD, since it seems that i need those for using Wireless Console 2 to work properly. But after i've installed them I have problems with this one second freezes which are very annoying.
    Do anyone of you know how I can fix this?

    Probably some system process that's stealing cpu cycles on you, perhaps trying to go through your Net connection. Check the process listing through Ctrl-Alt-Del and see what's spiking, then backtrack from there.

    I've tried that that now but I can't see anything spiking when it occurs. You don't know if there's any app out there that can monitor and check for this kind of things?
    Perhaps it can be someone of the ATK progs?
    Does anyone knows where to find new/older versions of them?

    Yes microsoft has a very nice utility for this. Its basically a supped up version of task manager; its called Process explorer
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
    you could set the time interval to .5 for this and then look at the cpu history for each individual application. Also on the graph pointing to certain parts will reveal what process used the cpu the most at that time.

    I use this often when trying to figure out problems like this

    Still have these problems...
    I have found out one more thing tough, the music (or movie) played in Media Player Classic is'nt affected by this. No hacking upp there, only the rest of the computer that freezes, not the mouse either...
