Nyarlathotep Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Are there any programs in the background ? Are you using kazaa ? If so, try uninstalling it just to see how things go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryphon Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Is your firewall scanning packetges as an extra feature ?That could take up a lot of processing time when you are playing online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Did this problem always occur ? If not, I think a good idea would be to format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duneguy Posted June 15, 2003 Author Share Posted June 15, 2003 nah it just started bout a month or 2 ago. what about a system recovery. compaq system recovery or whateve, think that will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 nah it just started bout a month or 2 ago. what about a system recovery. compaq system recovery or whateve, think that will work?I never liked those, but it's worth to try. At least Compaq's specific software will be recoverd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duneguy Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 ook heres an update since i need to get warcraft III working so i can stomp a mudhole in NAVAROS. lol, hopefully anyway.. i tried the memory thing to no avail. the problem ONLY arises during gameplay. never during anything else, i could be running kazaa internet explorer avant brower, word, and winamp perfectly fine no lag, except my internet connection sucks.. soon as i start up ANY game, roms of SNES even lagg all to hell, it starts lagging lasts about 5 seconds, stops for about 30 lags for another 5 and so on and so forth, sometime it lags for 6 seconds waits 10 seconds then back to the lag... i tried the recovery disk but it didnt work anyway. and i dont have a windows XP cd to install after i format...ok went out and got XP re-installed, put in all new memory. works fine so far...
