Bluntly put, my computer has become stupid.

It frequently simply stops working for about 10-20 seconds. For some reason, this doesn't happen when using one browser window, but it does happen as soon as I try to open another window or use any other program, such as KaZaa and Winamp. When it happens, I can move the mouse, but nothing that I click onto responds.

I ran a virus check, which yielded no results. There aren't any suspicious processes running, according to the Task Manager.

The only suspicious thing was a custom campaign of Warcraft III, that always made my computer slightly slower afterwards, and it seemed like this lagging first appeared during playing that campaign. Due to the frenzy caused by these lags, I deleted Warcraft III off my computer, but that didn't stop them.

I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone would give me any idea as to how the heck to stop these lags. They have proved to be quite tedious, modestly put.

Thanks in advance. [img]smile.gif[/img]
