Jerky rig

I just put a new wireless PCI card in my box (802.11g) and since then but PC has been a little jerky like when scrolling up/down or typing it the address bar or what ever, it seems to jerk as if it freezes for a few seconds. It didn't do this before put it in, ideas?

    Take the card out completely and re-insert it. See if the problem is still there.

    Already tried that mate, still no luck :(. Also tried in another PCI slot as well.

    Sounds faulty to me, unless it's entirely software based and the pc is old and slow.

    Nope not slow, P4 2.8ghz chip/1GB Kingston ram, must be faulty.

    Sorted it. Was to do with an XP process called Wireless Zero Configuration, what this does is every minute or so it will drop your connection for like half a second to check for available networks. Just had to stop the service, but as it turns its self back on every time you restart your PC, just had to make a .bat and stick it in my Startup folder so it's stopped every time Win starts.
