Hello everyone.
My problem is I'm getting frame lag when I play an online game. About a year ago, I could play the game well. But since 6 months ago, I've been getting frame lag. My friend of mine suggested that i needed to turn off programes I didn't use when I played the game. I did what my friend told me. But still I'm getting frame lag. Does anyone know how to fix this frame lag or reduce this frame lag.

I'll bet we can get to the bottom of the problem by having a closer look at your configuration. For instance, your video card can account for a lot of this - I notice that the video card seems to be using some of your system RAM, for instance. For a free program, Everest Home v2.20 can't be beat for learning oodles about your machine. Very often people email me their Everest report and I can identify the issue in a jiffy. If you'd like to do that, go to Lavalys.com and download Everest Home v2.20 here: http://www.lavalys.com/products/download.php?pid=1&lang=en Then run the Full Report Wizard, save it as HTML to your Desktop, and email to me as an attachment that report. Thanks. f i r e f i g h t e r @ g r a f f i t i . N E T
