Ping Rick Rogers Microsoft MVP in microsoft.public.windows.vista.general and
ask him to review the CBS.log file.
Good luck Rick.

sfc /scannow completed the verification phase and then presented with the
following error:

"Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix
some
of them. Detail are included in the CBS Log windir\logs\CBS\CBS.log"

I have searched the net and seem to be coming up with a bug being reported
in sfc where this issue is cropping up, even with Vista SP1. Are my
readings correct? Any further suggestions on the pausing and/or the SFC?

I have noticed that the pausing seems to most often (but not always) occur
when a tvtuner is running. I have tried two different tv tuners from two
different manufactorers but that does not really seem to be the problem.
My
gosh, I have upgraded this dual core processort 2.3 GHz machine to 2 GB of
memory. That should be enough to run a tv tuner. The tv tuners and Vista
run fine in my 1 GB memory machine. Could the issue be with the onboard
video (NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430)? The computer manufactorer tells
me
that the onboard video could not be the problem. If it is the issue how
could I test it short of purchasing a video card?

I started off with 512kb but have since upgraded to 2GB. Programs load
faster with 2GB but the system still pauses at random intervals for
several
minutes.

The problem has been occurring for quite some time; even
perhaps
since
computer purchase about a year ago but not sure.

The device drivers are from manufacturer's website and then I
used
a PC
Pitstop utility to verify all driver's were up to date.

I am using AVG Antivirus but I believe that I have tested with
AVG
disabled
through MSconfig. Firewall is the Windows Firewall.

What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is
installed?

Did you check for drivers at your OEM's or device(s)
manufacturer's
website?

My Vista build pauses at random times. Generally the mouse
can
be
moved
and
various windows can be minimized/maximized but that is about
it.

I have tested the hard drives with chkdsk. I have tested
the
memory.
I
have disabled all startups in msconfig. All drivers are up
to
date.
System
is running Vista SP1. Any other suggestions?- Hide quoted

how much memory do you have?

My laptop has almost exactly the same symptoms and I have tried turning
off all of the startup programs as well. I also ran the Reliability and
Performance Monitor and noticed that disk monitor shows a 100% "Highest
Activity Time" reading during these periods. Is this the same problem?
Have you solved your problem yet?

I had the same problem a while ago of dealing with random (1 to 3
minutes) pauses, they would mostly happend when starting windows or
installing some large software. It turns out, after a week of serious
investigation, that the sata harddrive where I had the OS installed had
the sata interface limited to 1.5. My harddrive has no jumpers to change
between sata mode 1 and 2, so I had to run some DOS programs to deal
with it. It may also be the case that you need to limit the sata to 1.5
instead of unlimiting. Hope this helps someone.
