My computer lags horribly when I try loading SOMETHING with a decent amount of graphics. The mouse will move extremely slow and the computer will just... stop mostly. It does this both when and when im not connected to the interent. I have tried defragmenting my computer, clearing it, there is very little programs on it. When I am connected to the internet (dial-up) and it starts lagging like this, say im playing a game or just trying to load something it lags very bad and disconnects me from the internet. I dont believe its my interent connection because i have tried many different dial-up companies and same problem, ALSO it happens on normal games when im not connected. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated, please help.
NicoleHave you scanned for viruses and Spyware?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Well did you do what flame said....!!Yes I have scanned for viruses and ad-wareUpdate MODEM drivers.......system info is........Exactly what kind of system are you asking for...other than the os, which is xp, and I doubt updating the modem will effect my computer, considering that the internet has no effect in the PERFORMANCE of my computer when it is in that state.I just finished running an ad-aware program..ad-aware, and it got to about 50% and froze on me due to the lagWhen your computer is 'at rest' check your cpu USAGE in your task manager. Ctrl+Alt+Del.
It should be very low.Has it always done this?
