Weird error message

[Bull]

I'm curious.. With the game running, try CTL-ALT-DEL, look
at your processes and see if there are any other pgms running
that's eating up processor time. If you see one that's unfamiliar,
you could stop that process and see if it makes a diff. It won't
hurt anything to try.

already did that...and all the processes that were running besides the game were processes that it wouldn't allow me to shut off

raptor...theres only so much with a computer that i can do...talking about defraging right?...i have no idea how to do that

Rohan=computer retarted...i wasted at least 6 hrs trying to fix this damn thing yesterday to only make it slower...really don't feel like wasteing another 8-9 hrs

-Edit: i need this thing for work...anyone know how to defrag and could tell me how to do it?

Start > My Computer > Right click on Drive C

Properties > Tools > Defragment Now > Defragment

thx dog

is that going to whipe everything off the computer or is that something else...and if it is something else could u tell me what that is and how to do it?

[Dog]

Nope, it find files of individual programs that are all over your drive and tries to put them togther for faster loading.
If you click analyze and see lots of red, your drive needs defragging!

[Dog]

BTW, this program tells you what programs you're running at start up....

Useful if you want to see what programs are running....

[Rohan]

is that what is causing the computer to b slow?...because of the red?

[Dog]

Some of it...perhaps.
You may have other programs running at the same time. Some get called without you needing/wanting them

Here is a pic of mine:

Most of the background programs running on my machine are Creative drivers for the sound card hehe.
vptray is my Norton running etc...

[Rohan]

ok well thx...bb in a few hrs to c if this works

[v.o.c]

if i get problems involving running slow i goto www.pcpitstop.com and run there tests, i once got a virus that my anti virus could not find because it had got into my anti virus and spyware programs and basicly told them it was fine and not a virus, but there anti virus picked it up, has its not actually on my machine so hadnt been conned into thinking the virus was fine.

they also have a bandwidth test in there full scan feature. if yoiu have no luck its worth a try

Rohan, wait, there is one more drastic measure

Re-install windows and everything you have....yes its a HUGE pain to do, but it is the only surefire way to get rid of all malicious software on your computer and overall boosts performance to back to brand new status. I do it at least once a year to keep my comp running like new. Takes me about 7-8 hours to uninstiall and re-install everything (due to all of the restarts) but in my opinion its worth it.

PS: I HATE THEM

[Rohan]

ok well defraging didn't work...also voc i tried ur thing and they were free scans but after they found all this crap they tried to make me buy there product to remove it and i'm not going to do that...so...if someone would b nice enough to tell me how to wipe my computer clean that would b great and hopefully i can have this thing back up and running by tonight...that would b great...kthx

[Rohan]

the above won't work so ignor it

my fps is 59-60
Loss: 0 and Choke: 0

my friend said thats good?...so y is my ping 50-100 higher than it should...also when i went to the 907th it took 30 min.-hr to fl a map which would normally take sec...and when i tried CoH i couldn't dl the patch because it kept freezing...my vid card is 6800 so i don't thing it's that...could it b the internet connection?...and if it is what should i do about it?

[Dog]

I suspect your ping might be high because of a bad hop. I have that right now for TV2, TV3 and TV6 where I'm getting 150+ ping.

I suggest you download HLSW (if you don't have it already). Add the IPs of each of the servers of theville (from front page) and then right click and go traceroute and it will show you all the computers your machine is linking to. There may be one that is screwing up....as in my case right now.

Ain't lot you can do if that is the case....
