Strange lag issue

I dunno what to say m8. I used to walk forward one step, lag 2 steps back and to the side when I was a Rct.

Make sure nothing else is running and consuming lots of resources. Insert usual advice about removing any spyware etc.

Consdiering whats changed since then, would ether a Logitech update manager or Norton Anti Virus make a diffrence? hehehe

Please tell me it could've been NAV on my mums computer As I have ClamAV for mine.

well i think its your computer which means you need to trash it and get another one better then the last that would solve your issue

Considering my mums PC and Recons likly hardware.

I might agree with Sheid when it comes to gaming

I would completly disagree with Shield there. Recon, your pc played these games fine. now u get unexpected lag in more than 1 location. This indicates its your pc, without a doubt. But i wouold go with the virus,spyware,adware thing m8.
100% its your pc, but i doubt it requires a new pc for something simple like that.

Press the "Processes" tab your'll see allot more. You can also see the # of running processes on the bottom, next to CPU Usage.

My brothers runs like 55+, mums 45+, mine 40'ish, my bosses 25'ish. So you can see the diffrence between running bare bones and allot of crap in the background.

Anything you'd want to end process would probably say "Owner" under user name, check for memory useage. Other stuff (namly if it runs under "system" or "local service") you can look up online to see if it should be deleted or not.

your CPU's run at that percentage wow mine is around 25

25 Processes? Or 25% CPU usage?

mine has over 60 processes running on it. :eek: :eek:

Well if your not packing a Xeon and a few gigs of ram I'd say it's time to trim down !

Thats a windows machine I'm geussing, not a BSD System that can run a 100-150 processes without batting an eye lash.

Windows is correct.

How do i trim down???

I know some of the processes running dont need to be, like itunehelper. I dont even know what that is doing at all.

Start -> Run -> msconfig -> startup.

I would suggest googling all the .exe and .dll files so you know what is needed for what. This way you won't accidently disable your VirusScan.

BTW: iTunes helper is doing nothing at all.

I think iTunes helper detects when your plug your iPod in. Because if I disable it, it prevents iTunes from interfering and just treats it as a hard drive.

Thats not a bad idle. Mines %0-7

open the run menu and type msconfig.

go to the Services tab and check the box to hide all MS Services. Uncheck what ever you don't need. I'm only running my Video cards tool, my firewall, and C-DillaCdaC11BA w/e the heck that is.

Go to the startup tab and uncheck w/e you don't need in the background. You can uncheck everything on this tab usually. It's basicly the things you want to run in the system tray near the clock at boot.

When you leave MSCONFIG it will ask you to reboot, you can if you want. When you reboot it'll give ya a pop up. Just check the thing not to bug yea at each reboot and Windoze will sthu

While I have 40 processes running,none are using CPU usage only memory usage. and it is only using 200 MB of memory. This still leaves 800 MB of memory for use. :alien:

have u tried for a later Gfx driver Recon?
