Hi,

I have a Belkin Wireless G PCI card and XP Pro. The PC works fine if the
internet router is on and I'm wirelessly connected. However if the internet
router is off and I turn the PC on, then the PC will completely freeze for a
second every 7-10 seconds. It's like he PC is polling to see if it can
wirelessly find the router every 7-10 seconds.

If I turn the router on and connect to the internet then great! the freeze
goes, even if I then turn the router off it's all fine sill, but not if I
restart when the router is off.

I don't want to have the internet on all the time, can I fix this? I am
using the latest drivers and windows updates. When the Internet is off and
it starts to freeze again I disbaled the card and the freeze went away.

Thanks

Check for spyware.

My sister had a similar situation. Open task manager and see if there is a
process using a lot of resources, (not system idle process).

I can't recall the program now, but in my sisters case it was something she
had installed through a website and could be uninstalled through add/remove
programs. But when I tried to kill it off it initially, it would restart
itself.

It sounds like the program could be trying to connect to a server and the
pause it the timeout period.

I tried task manager but it actually freezes the PC for a second and doesn't
update task manager.

I even killed all the proccesses possible and it still froze every 7-10
seconds. The only things remaining were svhosts.exe.

I even tried Process Explorer

But no luck, only that defferred procudure calls hit 80% for a second.
