Hi guys,
I've come upon a problem I can't solve. This laptop has been re-formatted before, and with the same procedure, but after this last time, when ever I try playing some online games, it will perform normal and smooth for around a minute, than lag more than my old Pentium 4.
It runs MOVIES well, off-line gaming seems PRETTY good too. So I would guess its now something to do with internet connection, but Firefox runs fast, and comp shows its connection speed is 100Mbps. Is there such thing as internet buffering? It's almost LIKE when I try and play the game, it's all good for a bit, but cant keep up the PACE for long... wireless or wired.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Tried re- reformatting multiple times.

Its a Dell Inspiron 6400
XP pro
2.0 Duo Core
2 GB ram
Geforce Go 7300If it runs well offline, I don't think continual reformatting of your computer makes any difference.

If Firefox can download fast in the same time period that you are having trouble with your game, it is going to be an ISSUE with the games you are using.

Also, I just solved a problem for the kid with a game that was having problems because the AV program was contending with it and using up all the available CPU time.

My recently closed case in the malware section discusses this issue with many games these days coming up as (false?) positives on various scanners.the problem you are facing has nothing to do with firefox I think the problem is in flash player you are using try install the latest version of flash player I think this will solve the problem.
