B.K.-
I just disabled it (I was under the impression that I had disabled it a long time ago, but maybe it wasn't). Now this activity hasn't showed up in a couple of days; its sporadic nature makes it hard to duplicate and frustrating. The weird thing, to me, is that most processes that tie up the machine would show up in Norton System Doctor as a 99-100% CPU Usage spike, whereas this one showed no such change; indeed everything including all the NSD histographs freeze, and then, when it's over, everything picks up right where it left off as if nothing ever happened, without any evidence of a freeze or crash. I'll let you know if this fixes it (in a few days<g>).

It happened again since I disabled fast Find. I'm more and more inclined to think it's a hardware problem. I've had an email in to Highpoint but no response yet. Thanks for the suggestion.
