Windows Lagging

Hey guys, recently i'm having some problems with my windows, but i still cant solve it..

Heres the problem, sometimes after closing a window, my desktop shortcuts will disappear, and the desktop will freeze for 2-5 secs before the shortcuts reappear again and everything is fine..

Also when i get back from standby mode and log back on to my user, this happens..
It also last for 2-5 secs before everything is back to normal

I also suspect this is causing my Bf2142 to encounter BSOD with
claud2k.sys error..
Would really appreciate help from you guys.. Thanks in advance.

hmm okie, will give it a try, but is there a possiblity that it's a harddisk failure?

i think i found out the problem, and it seems to be notiman.exe which is part of creative sound drivers..
Will it be okie if i were to remove that .exe?

Search for the file and remove it?
Perhaps its part of another process ( process a.exe in startup list, opens process b.exe ( notiman.exe ) as part of the program ).
If you cant find it make a batch file, let it star up with windows, and make the batch file close the notiman.exe process.

Got it, its linked to either CThelper / CTXFIHLP as i disabled both of them together and notiman.exe is gone =)
Thanks guys.
