Hey Recently i've been Getting major lag spikes when playing a game (www.conqueronline.com) and when i hit ctrl+alt+del the pagefile usage is at like 600mb Inever used to get the lag spikes and it's getting annoying since i end up dying and getting d/c so i end up stuck in jail for 30min. Anyone hav any idea how to fix this w/o reformating.

Try cleaning out the temp directory. Defrag your drive(s), and make sure the indexing service isn't running (disable it). Also, you can try limiting you pagefile (min and max) to the amount of RAM. Post your system specs please.

It might also be spyware/adware filling up the network connection. Try these:

Spywareblaster

Spybot - Seach and Destroy

AdAware

I thought that too but i've used ad-aware &spybot and there was not one thing they found. I also have an up to date AV scaner. Nothing icon_confused.gif wallbash.gif Defragmenting takes sooooooooooo long. it probably needs to be done but it shouldn't make that big a difference should it.

If you are severely fragmented, it will take a long time with those specs. I suggest you set the min/max pagefile to 512/512, but might want to set it lower before defragging, then set it to that.

Defragging for the first time in a while will take a long time, particularly if the drive is getting full, but it's worth doing (leave it overnight or while you are gone to work or school the first time and you may want to run it twice) if you do it every week or to it only takes a few minutes.
The other thing is to consider what other programs

check your CPU temp...clean that fan, most likely a stock intel thingy...

are you running a SLOT 1 or S370 cpu? maybe upgrade to a P3 1.13 for cheap...

.........
I guess I should finish that thought...... what other programs/processes are running.
We all tend to add little add-on tweaks , utilities, another spyware or virus scanner and let it run. Before you know it, we are using as many resources/processor cycles, memory or disk space as any virus or spyware.
The difference is, we can choose to turn some of them off.

Pull down a copy of HijackThis from here:

Extract it anywhere but Your Desktop/Temp Directory and run it. Do the scan and save the log.

Post the LOG file here and we can see what you have running, this might show some insight as to your issues.
