Further testing found it was possible to happen on 12 second intervals for about 2-3 seconds if I hit a movement key during that 2-3 seconds. Used task manager to find an app that was cyling about every 12 seonds.
Was PCMService.exe which apparently comes with Dell or Acer laptops with its Media applications, but appears to be non-essential. Stopping that task fixed the problem.
Of course, I have no idea why this would suddenly have caused a problem on a laptop I've played EQ on regularly for a year and a half. It was definitely something I would have noticed before, because it made normal walking from place to place pretty difficult.
That's some good info. Thanks for posting a followup. I don't know why it would have changed suddenly either. Perhaps something changed in the last Windows update.
