[QUOTE="Love, post: 75892, member: 2707"] Seeing as how everyone may experience lag here and there, I've put together some information which should help you, it's worth a shot, who wouldn't want less lag? If you don't lag, that's great, why did you click on this thread? You ought to give it a try as well. :p Turn off your AIM/MSN/Yahoo/Xfire/etc off. It helps. Close everything you don't need pretty much, webcam/microphone/bluetooth, etc. Little things still help :p Also, increasing your virtual memory may help. Right click My Computer > Properties (For Vista: Right click Computer, then click "Advanced System Settings") Now you should have a System Properties window open, click the Advanced tab, Under Performance, click the Settings box. A window called Performance Options should've popped up. Look for Virtual Memory, and after "Total paging file size for all drives: (Number here) Remember that number, and click the Change box. A window called Virtual Memory will come up. Click the "Custom size:" option. Initial size (MB) and Maximum size (MB) should have a box after them with a number in it. The rule for this number is 1.5 times the amount of ram you have. Ex: If you have 3GB of ram, you may put 4500. If you listened and remember the number I told you to (You can always take a few steps back and get it again.) you may enter that, or the amount of ram you have, times 1.5 It may be less than 1.5 times, but it's the recommended amount. Hopefully I help, if you have questions, just send me a PM. (Yes, I've done this to my computer.) You probably can find a video on YouTube if you don't believe me. Also, doing a weekly scan helps, I suggest downloading CCleaner (For more information on CCleaner, here's the link for it on WikiPedia. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ccleaner[/url] ) it's somewhat like the default Disk Cleanup, but is quite better. Also has a registry cleaner. I use CCleaner about everyday, and haven't had problems with it since. :p Having a good antivirus and firewall also help, you can get AVG/AVAST! (they full edition for about what? A year?) If you just lurk YouTube, some videos provide serial keys that do work and are worth a try. Once the key becomes out dated, I'm SURE there will be more videos that give you new and working serial keys, so don't sorry when your serial has expired, pay a visit to YouTube and get your antivirus back. I use AVAST! Simply because it's easier to remove virus/trogans/etc, it gives you the option when found, when AVG, is a bit more complicated. AVAST! Also has a better percentage of finding virus' so it's up to you. Turning down your settings in Combat Arms also may help, so what if your graphics aren't as clear, at least you can play with less lag, right? There's nothing wrong with upgrading your PC. New graphics card, more ram, etc. If all fails, nothing a good ol' reinstall can't fix.
