I have Vista 64 Ultimate on a HP tx2525nr notebook with 3GIG of memory.

I noticed that Virtual Disk Service turns itself off, then back on, then off again every 3 seconds

Just a sample from event viewer:

I tried manually turning VDS off in services, but it turns itself back on after a while.

I've searched the boards for this problem with no joy. Hoping you all might be able to provide some insight. What's causing this and how can I get it to stop?
