I dont know MUCH about computers, but ever since last week my games have been running very laggy. I dont no what I have done...i been doing the same thing all summer =\ When i surf the internet i only go to my clan site and www.break.com which never gave me problems. I play Wolfenstein ET and warcraft Frozen throne, and in Wolfenstein i run at 10-40 Frames Per Second when it should be 90-125. And When i play it doesnt run smooth its very choppy.
My computer is acting quite slow too. Whener i go to Control Panel sometimes a little flashlight pops up and searched for about 10 seconds, that never used to happen.

I have Mcafee as my main Virus thing and i ran Ewido anti-spyware, Ccleaner, Ad-aware, and a registry clear to fix some problems, there wasnt any problems with viruses, some registry stuff was fixed but it didnt hlp.

I get this messege about some Virtrual Memory thing being used BECUASE i guess my memory is low.

I have a Emachines T3410

AMD Sempron Processor 3400+
512mb Memory

Nvidia Geforce 6100

Can you hlp me please  [Edited]: One more thing...If you helpful people are going to tell me to scan in safemode or change some important stuff, it would be awsome if you can take me step by step on some of them sorry im not too good with computers. I fix my moms computer sometimes but its more basic stuff, alot of the things you guys say is like reading Japanese upside down while drunk welcome aboard to CH  

Try to apply the "Black Viper"

Start>>run>>>(type) services.msc  >>>>enter

if you like to disable or make it manual

Right click to the process then click properties



 ;)infoseeker nevermind this post. I was confused but now i get it Alright i chose the "Safe" setup, and so now that i freed up some memory or w/e. I want to no what PROCESSES i can shutdown safely to free even more memory.  I dont know if everyone has the same tasks though.

To name some processes i have...
explorer.exe           winlogon.exe             taskmgr.exe
guard.exe                csrss.exe
spoolsv.exe             nvsvc32.exe
svchost.exe             smss.exe
tcpsvcs.exe              PDVDServ.exe
PRISMXL.exe            IEXPLORE.exe
Lsass.exe                 ShwiconEM.exe
services.exe            McVSEscn.exe
mcvsshld.exe           Sustem.exe
oasclnt.exe              alg.exe

and some other ones that come form my mcafee program.  I dont know if those things i listed helped, but its WORTH a try.Did you go to the link in reply #1?

And when i right click on My Computer it says 383 mb and my moms says 512mb. So either thats normal and my comp sucks, or my comps been messed.
And maby the GHz has something to do with it, my  AMD Sempron Processor 3400+ has 2.0 GHz, and my moms comp has 2.53 GHz.  My mom has an HP and i have an Emachines.
So if that has something to do with it, maby i just have to go and buy some more memory?
But i stil dont see why my games are very laggy all of a sudden, and programs do not open as fast as before.Your GForce is integrated graphics so the memory for that comes from system memory. That would explain the "missing" RAM.

You say that computer used to play at the FRAME rates you mentioned? Then something else is wrong.  Most likely suspect is malware, running processes, etc. rather than some sort of defective hardware.

We are still awaiting analysis of your log file.Your computer has onboard video; it does not have a video card.  And, in the BIOS, it's probably set to share/allocate 128MB of system memory, i.e. the 512MB of RAM installed in the computer, to the video function.  In such systems, Windows will report 384MB of memory in the System Properties panel.  And, CCleaner appears to be doing the same thing.

Generally, any computer with onboard video is not going to be a great gaming machine.  The performance of these systems can usually be improved by installing a video card and disabling onboard video. Quote

Yes, but it hasn't been analyzed yet. I guess the Hijack experts have the weekend off.
