Is it a laptop? If so, do defrag...

But if it is really so bad, that's prolly not the solution. I bet on spyware and/or a virus. Start using some decent anti-spoyware (spybot search and destroy is a good start). http://www.spybot.info/

Also do a virus scan on your computer after a startup in safe mode. You could download Norton Anti Virus (free for 30 days) at www.symantec.com .

Before you do this, you could do ctrl-alt-del while you are in windows, go to processes -> list by CPU-usage and look for which file is using CPU-power. If there's one that keeps coming back, then google the process name and see what you get.

If you are virus- and spywarefree and still have it, then it's a hardware problem...

BTW: if you think this is too much trouble, then just format your hard disk. That always does the trick!

Another good scanner would be Ad-Aware. I dont know the site, but i guess you can just look for it on Google. I personally hate Norton for the shit it did to my old 98, but to each his own, if you use it.

Yeah, Fraps can be a pain in the ass sometimes. If you look in General Chat, ive made a thread about "One of those days." Im talking about Windows Movie Maker, but Fraps is why i spent 2(now 4) hours working.

It's got nothing to do with FRAPS. It's something his computer is doing periodically, possibly a process. Check your process list before you play and shut down everything unneeded.

it could be renegade looking for something (such as a sound) on the hard drive and taking a long time about it, therefore slowing the gameplay right down...

Do you have a laptop or desktop? Do you use Norton? If so: change to another virus scanner. Check for spyware.
